I don't know anyother forum that you have to make an introduction speech to make a post just because the owner of the forum  thinks its a nice courteous  thing to do for him to make them acceptable in his eyes.I have as I said think this is a good thing if it has now been removed from the members joining rules. I am sure this forum will get more members because of this correct decision. This forum can only get better now.

Andy, stand corrected, 99.9% of the members of this forum think the member introduction is an excellent concept and the courteous way to go about things.
I personally would insist on even more detail than is currently acceptable. eg real name instead of only user name. If contributors have nothing to hide, then what's the problem[?]

  Funnily enough, I dont remember introducing myself when joinig, either the mods were asleep, and I never got a bol---ing, or nobody understood me, (more the latter me thinks),anyway I dont own anything in Turkey, (should have a share in Scarlets by now) but sh-t happens,and I dont go, or want to go, on every topic.I am also very shy, but would not mind introducing myself, I mean its not as if its the A.A. but hiya and welcome anyway, (and that a first for a long time)

Blimey, you try to offer 'cryptic' support, sheesh!

AndyAndy - If you met a group of people in the pub and wanted to join them you wouldn't just walk up and start asking questions or voicing your opinions would you?

[SteveJ]

"I wouldn't walk unannounced into your living room and slag off your curtains"

Keith - Steph told me about your curtains.  You're on dodgy ground there mate!  

[Scunner]

Hang on a minute there Steve, that's different! I walked into OUR living room and slagged off OUR curtains!!!

Yes I would and have. The same as if I am with mates and someone asked something or joined in I would'nt expect them to introduce themselves.
On that basis you might as well say whenever you make a phone call you introduce yourself if its merely a question you want to ask. Same goes when you ask someone for directions or times of buses etc.If I went into Scunners estate agents and said to him I wanted to buy a 3 bedroom villa for 150k in Calis do you think he would say.Excuse me but you have'nt been curteous and introduced yourself to me before I can help you. Not in a millon years.

Thats fine andy, just walk in and sit yourself down, don't introduce yourself, ask as many questions as you like....
