I'm fairly new here. Is this some sort of board tradition? Or are the welcome posts just a way to pad your post count? I appreciate the welcome but it gets fairly annoying when clicking on the last post of an interesting and helpful thread and the last new post is a "Welcome" post and not something related to the thread at all.
If I've stepped on any toes, just ignore me.

[/quote]IMHO a welcome is a nice way to greet a new member.If you don't like the post don't read it.
cheers

Generally this is what I have concluded:
New members welcome the welcome message;
Old birds finds the welcome message annoying.
But the old birds were new birds once, and I was happy to see the welcome message then. We should continue with the welcome ritual ....

Also new members with a good question get the "welcome aboard" without an answer to their question.
Again, I understand it is posted to make a new member welcome and invited to post more. But let's try to keep answering questions before new members stop reading/posting because they're not helped out.
And no! It's not a foglight thing for me
And I know alohalc isn't doing it for the postcount. He has enough and gives good info!!

The newby is welcomed once in the name of the whole forum.
That is fair and sufficient?

[/quote]Who said anything about complaining about posting a welcome message in a Welcome Thread. We're talking about a welcome post in threads that newbies post in. :bashwall:
