Good idea, Alex.

Ye wanderers, welcome to 'Cat.
Do, please, pick a spot. Hang your hat!
You tired and hungry
And thirsting-to-breathe-free:
This is heaven, and not just a chat!

If joining, a good thing to do
Is say hi in a New Member thread, and please do!
It helps us to know
What you play, and such, and so
If you'll head there, we'll hoist you a few.

(Max and I had cross-posted and so I thought Annamill was joking that it was Max!!)

Look, I have to call them as I see them. I've worked hard to help get thorny newcomers incorporated when they are just being themselves. But sometimes the best I can come up with is to take people at face value. I don't go post-detecting, either, like a lot of members do, to try to figure out who the heck someone actually "is." I just call 'em as I see 'em. But if I've been off, I'm sorry.
