say hello to new members posting for the first time

[orleans]

saw a sidebar with this--never saw that before

maybe i'll look a few up and say hello

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=firstposts

just to clarify, the DU instructions are as follows:
"Say hello to these new members who just posted for the first time"

[CaliforniaPeggy]

1. That's a good idea, my dear orleans!

I remember that I was welcomed when I first posted, and I will never forget it, even though it was 10 years ago!

[orleans]

2. yes, i vaguely remember someone acknowledging me as well

so i've posted three hellos so far.

my text consists of "hello. n/t"

it feels very silly.

4. you remember me, that's for sure

yes INDEED

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. Oh do I ever remember you!

yes INDEED.

I was really upset at first...now I just laugh!

[Skittles]

3. you want I should kick some newbie ass, orleans?

I MEAN, WHY WASTE TIME

[orleans]

6. hey--the link is right there & there are still plenty of them who haven't gotten

any replies yet.

[orleans]

[CaliforniaPeggy]

I don't think I had very many welcome posts.

I remember Uppity Person, Baitball Blogger, KamaAina and California Peggy welcoming me.

But then again, I think I wracked up over a couple hundred posts quite fast, like within days, just talking about and correcting Ebola scare news and rumors.

Oh, and Skittles once kicked my newbie ass.

edited to add: pwnmom also welcomed me. And Capt. Obvious once stood up for me when some thought I was a troll.

10. well, she offered to do it again (kick newbie ass) upthread (post 3)

and may i offer you a belated (but so sincere) WELCOME!

[KMOD]

11. Thank you,

that means so much.

12. Since you are making such rapid progress, you best prepare an epic post like I did:

14. 44 members have recommended this thread

[KMOD]

15. I don't think I can possibly compete with that.

Awesome! I gave you a belated rec.

I was planning on doing 1970s teen heart throbs, but I think I'll have to step up my game.

[orleans]

16. no one can top your post! n/t

[cwydro]

13. Great idea.
