I’m ashamed–can I hide my number of posts? I’ve read this for years without ever joining, so I feel like I know everyone, but this is only, what, my third actual post? I finally joined because the price was going to go up, so I was catching a deal. (Notice that I never joined when it was free.)

Treasure your low post count while you have it. If you screw up, people are a little easier on a newbie! 😃

But quality counts around here, not quantity. Relax, don’t worry about your post count, think before you post, and nobody’ll bat an eye.

And welcome aboard (as a paying member)!
