Forgive me if your post sounded a bit “Spammish”. If my spam radar is set too sensitive, my apologies.
This happens to me at parties all the time. I go up to someone, introduce myself, then stare at them and stay silent until they finally move away.
Can’t wait for New Year’s Eve!!!
Do you receive a considerable amount of spam on these boards?
No, my fault, perhaps my first post should have been a bit more serious and less friendly.
I was just starting to really warm up to danii-with-two-i’s, but she bailed.
Hi SpaceRace, from a fellow Michigander.
Now, prove you’re not a bot.
We like quirky poetry. And goat pie.
Yeah, we do get too much spam (well, any spam is too much, in my opinion).
Welcome, SpaceRace! I hope you stick around and converse with us. 
I like haiku too.
It’s so spare and descriptive
With few syllables.
Enough that we’re occasionally cautious, especially in a thread where the OP sounded a lot like your post and then she disappeared. So, like I said, nothing personal and sorry if your OP pinged my spam-o-meter.
I’m all out of goats
how about rabbit souffle
she’s a meaty bunn
Yes.
Cat Whisperer in winter
With snowy feline paws
Welcomes SpaceRace
Seventeen syllables, three lines, seasonal reference. 
ETA: SpaceRace, you win!
leveled up! bing! yes!
so excited to be here
I cant stop Haiku
Nice!
Yeah!
There’s really no place for intro threads here. People jump in and then either sink or swim.
So far, you’re swimming.
There was a girl from Nantucket…
Oh, wait. Wrong thread.
Wow…52 welcomes already, yet no reply in a week, and no visit for four days. Think we scared her away?
Could be. Or perhaps she misread Morgyn’s map and approached Mariah from the left — something one should never do.
Hey, she’s at Princeton. Probably just studying.
<whistles innocently>
Elendil, Princeton should be having winter break right now.
But Mariah isn’t.

Winter chill gives way
To crazy in-joke greetings.
Welcome to the boards.
