My favorite part is that you guarantee that anyone who joins gets a real, working email address for questions and suggestions.
I wish more companies sent every (even automated) email with a working mailbox to reply to.
Just out of curiosity, have you tried sending automatic welcome messages with your email address to reply to and the same open-ended request for questions and comments?
Good point re: working email address. That situation has come up a few times - the person didn't reply to my initial welcome email, but remembered that they had received it, and replied to that email when they had a question later on.
