If the user is already familiar with the Emacs menu structure,
the user can easily find the item Help->About Emacs.

We could compare .emacs with the initial .emacs in /etc/skel,
but I agree this is not worth trying.
Just another idea: what about creating a file ~/.emacs.d/startup-counter,
which contains a number of Emacs invocations, and automatically increment it
after every Emacs startup. A bigger number would make the startup screen
less annoying: starting with displaying the startup screen in the separate
window and progressing to displaying it in the echo area with less and less
lines.
