I'm not a 'Greeter', but I like greeting new members....when I joined here I posted in the 'New Members' section and was warmly welcomed by many people. I felt like I was being drawn into the community. I like to contribute to giving others that same feeling.
Occasionally people post their introduction in the New Members section, accompanied by a question or two and if I know the answer or can point them in the right direction to find it then I will, I have no problem with that.
That section of the forum is there specifically for new people to introduce themselves to the community. Posting just a question or problem with no accompanying introduction is just a misplaced post. It irritates me beyond measure when people post in a thread specifically created for introductions with something completely unrelated. These posts I admit, I often post a welcome message only and don't reply to the question because my inner child is stubborn and wants to passive-aggressively point out that they posted in the New Members Introductions thread.
I may well be a bad person
