If Judimouse could see all the spam and such we get hit with, she might appreciate the reaction she got with her initial post. As far as what GC says- I'm sorry if people think we're unfriendly, but I really can't agree. Just as we couldn't possibly know Judimouse in such a short period of time, the same goes for anyone who is new to this site. If you all only knew how many 'new members' end up being spam, you'd know why we don't roll out the welcome mat every time there's a new sign-up. If you know someone from another site and want to introduce them, by all means please do so! It takes the guesswork out for us, and lets us know this person is cool.
For the record, I've been to plenty of other sites and felt like the odd girl out- it takes time to get to know one another. I hope Judi gives us some more time.
