I've been thinking about this for a while and wonder if anyone would be interested. Recently, I've been speaking offline with a few newcomers, each of which says a variation on this: "I love the board, and I've been a lurker for a really long time, but I'm intimidated because everyone seems so knowledgeable [editor's note: boy, we've gotten them fooled!
] and I don't know how to start posting."
Well what do you think of a Welcome to CS - Introduce Yourself kind of thread? Most of us love helping people and its always startling to find so many who have lots of questions but don't know how to join in. Often we get folks who have very clear, often single minded purposes - they've inherited jewelry and want to know more, or they want to find a stone for a ring - but I wonder if some of the lurkers who don't have a pressing need would feel better if they had a place that invited them in and in which they could introduce themselves..
Opinions?
