I suppose it depends on the recipient. When I first came here I was quite pleased to see so many people greeting me - in fact we had to stop replying on that thread because it got to about 95 posts which ended up a bit silly for an 'introduction' thread.
I do know what you're referring to, if you watch the live-feed you can see a string of 10~15 posts all at once by the one person on the intro thread; however, quite a lot of those are specifically composed to the OP (ie, the poster actually does read the first post) and it gives the new person a change to engage with and get to know the more active participants of the forum.
What would be worse... the situation now, or the situation where a new person introduces themselves and gets no replies for days?
Personally I prefer to see new people engage in discussions ASAP.
