It is not a task to introduce yourself in the Welcome thread....it is good manners.
The problem has been that newbies join our forum and then go straight for the vendors threads asking questions and commenting (many of the questions have already been answered in the vendors threads) and many of the comments break our rules.
When one meets people.....they introduce themselves.....it's that simple....it's also how you get respect.
Just coming on and posting before an intro.......too impersonal and shows a lack of respect......lots of other forums are available for that.
We are trying diligently to have a supportive forum that is absent of discord, mean posts and fighting......
One way to set the tone is to read/follow the rules AND introduce oneself.
