I mentioned this in the thread about the etiquette link, but wanted to "formally" discuss it in it's own place. Personally, I think having a period of say 3 days between registering on the forums and being able to post would be beneficial. While it would not guarantee that new users would properly lurk before posting, it would probably help. Anyone with real interest in the forums would almost certainly spend his or her waiting period reading other posts, which is exactly what we constantly seem to be telling new users to do anyways.
Just a thought.

"Life is sacred and you are not its steward. You have stewardship over it but you don't own it. You're making a choice to go through this, it's not just happening to you. You're inviting it, and in some ways delighting in it. It's not accidental or coincidental. You're choosing it. You have to realize you've made choices."
