> Could you have an "official greeter" in the newbies area to help welcome them and direct them to the boards that would be most suited to their questions? I think we may gain members that way as right now they may perceive no responses to their first post as uncaring and not return..

> Justherself54I agree, greeters, either official or unofficial, would be great. Would anyone like to volunteer?
> I've been criticized for answering a thread that no one has responded to . I feel at least a hi or a little interaction even if don't know the med or whatever helps the person know someone knows they are there. ... I'd be more than happy to welcome a person if on the board at the time and sometimes I do and say someone with more knowledge than me is sure to come along. Is this okay?

> PhillipaI'm sorry you got criticized. I also think a little interaction would be welcoming. Plus the green "new" indicators make them easy to spot. Thanks,
Bob
