9. Howdy

I normally don't think of people with over 100 posts as newbies, but howdy, anyway.

3. I had to welcome a new "Cookie" person.
We snack foods have to stick together. Besides, I like mint Oreos.

5. I always welcome newbies.
Indeed, in my "spartan" thread day before yesterday, I gave a n00b a big welcome.

He turned out to be a troll and was tombstoned.

I always welcome newbies. If they turn out later to be trolls, well at least I did my part.

Especially here in the Lounge...I feel odd, no idea why, about doing it in other forums...:shrug:

16. Yesterday
All the ones I have seen today had lots of welcomes already. I usually welcome one or two a day, depending how much I am on DU

As long as I'm not in a mad dash to get a message posted and then run away.
