**With complete deference with : D:** I went to look at the Master List only to discover that there are people there like Democritus, who may have considered himself a newbie at one point, but is now checking in at well over 2,000 posts! Because of the way the post count is updated on _all_ of our posts regardless of when it was made, the newbies in the thread looks kind of oldbie-ish after a while… Hence this thread. I’d love to welcome newbies in a nice seasonal summer thread, where I don’t have to go to the fifth page to find out who posted recently. So!! If you’re a newbie, please post here and say hi!! A huge big ALOHA to ya!! – Baglady (barely out of diapers herself) ---

I think maybe you should give some kind of perameters explaining what constitutes a newbie. Is it post count? Registration date? (I’m pretty sure I qualify :D) ---

DISCLAIMER: SOME OF THE PREVIOUS HOSTILE OVERBEARING OPINIONS EXPRESSED BY MOJO57 ARE IN NO WAY AN ACCURATE PORTRAYAL OF CINDI WHO IS REALLY A VERY, VERY EXTREMELY NICE, PERSON. ANY OUTLANDISH STATEMENTS ARE MERELY AN ACTING-OUT OF REPRESSED BEHAVIOR THAT IS BETTER VENTED IN PRINT THAN ON PERSONS WHO WILL BE NAMED LATER. IT HAS NEVER BEEN PROVEN THAT CINDI HAS SECRETED A WHOLE ROAST PIG, A TORCH,BODY PARTS,DEAD MAN’S ARM OR EVEN GODZILLA IN HER BRA. FURTHERMORE, CINDI HAS NEVER ADMITTED TO USING ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED ITEMS IN A VIOLENT OR INAPPROPRIATE MANNER. THANK YOU. I’m a 43 year old registered nurse, married, 2 grown kids. who is realy quite normal. I love this site, it is one of the few places I’ve found where intelligence and humor are valued and represented. I’ll try not to annoy you long time dopers as I strive find my niche. Cindi ---

**little\*bit asked** : _I think maybe you should give some kind of perameters explaining what constitutes a newbie. Is it post count? Registration date?_ Well, since I called this the SUMMER list, let’s say: **Registration date:** Anything from June of this year on **Post count:** Definitely under 1,000. Preferably under 500. **Under 100?** _Fresh meat! Come on by and introduce yourself!!!_ ---

I normally prefer to sidle, which is why I avoided the original newbie thread, but anyway here I am. With a massive post count of 13(?). ---

I believe that I fall into the newbie catagory. Are we supposed to introduce ourselves, give our history, how many wives/kids/boyfriends/girlfriends/dogs/cats etc that we have? Would someone explain what were are supposed to do? Bonus 5000 doper points if you know where my name comes from.
