I vote the "new member announcement" is retired, considering how few actually participate. Let the new people announce themselves. At least then we have a person to talk to for a few days before they scuttle off back to wherever it is they come from. The pattern is the same: "Welcome welcome welcome" and there's never a response. It's like meeting your mom's new boyfriend: half her age, a third her smarts. You know he'll be gone in a month, so why bother making nice? |

OK, I'll forego the Yorkshire tradition of making to make folk welcome and adopt a more trans-Atlantic "fit in or fuck off" attitude. |

"It's like meeting your mom's new boyfriend: half her age, a third her smarts. You know he'll be gone in a month, so why bother making nice?" I can think of a reason. But it's not one a clean-cut kid yourself would contemplate. |

I think we should keep the 'new member welcome' approach. If the member chooses to respond, fair enough, if not likewise. Speaking personally, I found it nice to be greeted on arrival. But that's just me. I always was a strange boy. Just ask my mother. |
