I agree, as someone who remembers my newbie days well (what? they're not quite over yet??), I always make a point to welcome the new members. Plus, either follow cassidy (or beat her) to correct that silly misunderstanding she has bout the color of the 505s...
But getting a decent welcome can make all the difference in how you feel about a board and whether you return again. Luckily for you all, I remember a particularly warm welcome from DesertGrandma and Lilac in particular....
