Of course they could welcome them. I would expect those within that thread to welcome them? Or even the poster responsible for that particular thread? Not that they HAVE to be, but I kinda would think it would be nice.
I personally might be kinda weirded if someone came to me and welcomed me out of the blue?
I also concerned bout follow up. Its all very well and good to come up and say welcome, but then abandon them?
I struggle with consistancy IRL.

As for new people being listed, hmmm, well, mebbe you could b-mail people bout a newbie you have noticed on a board frequented by the poster? Tho how you gonna notice it I dunno. You read everything?
I am inconsistant.
You can't rely on me unless specifically asked bout something.
Sorry, I'm a little bamboozled right now. Dunno why. Or care particularly. Just responding cuz I think welcoming IS a good thing.
Just having seen this thread has raised my awareness anyhow bout watching out for that stuff. Mebbe we just need a reminder from time to time?
