I haven't been on Lugnet very long, but whenever someone identifies
themselves as being new, I will try to welcome them and give them some
comments. If someone just posts something like "Hey look at this" I often
don't respond to it (unless I'm particularly impressed), because I figure
maybe someone else knows them and might respond to their post. I read a lot
of topics on Lugnet, so I don't necessarily respond to _everything_.
However, given the recent events, I for one will try to be mindful of
newcomers and be as welcoming as I can. I don't think I've been here long
enough to consider myself 'leet.
