Hi, Emeline, and welcome!  No words of wisdom here.  We all kind of 
hope that the mad surge of posts will slow down (it has already 
slowed a bit over the weekend, down from 800 to 300 a day) soon.

I think a good way to get to know people is to find posters who you 
like, and reply, either onlist or offlist.  Nearly everybody thinks 
their posts get fewer replies than they would really like, so they 
tend to welcome replies.
