I personally don't understand what is the problem with Warbaby or anyone else typing in a 15 second welcome to newcomers to these forums. I personally have been to other forums where I have posted a "Hello, I'm new here" post and have been ignored. At least the newcomers to this board are welcomed with open arms. Regulars here let them know that they are welcome to the site and are made to feel so. And if posting welcomes to newcomers ups someone's post count, so freakin' what?
