I did, and it is our responsibility as established members of this board to act as a corrective with newbies like Fred. When he raises such a question in his introduction post, we kindly instruct him that such questions belong under a separate subforum (in addition to welcoming him to the board, of course). It is a fascinating question and deserves attention, but people do not look in an introduction thread for discussions like that.

Yep, he's been welcomed, and is steaming out posts in sub-forums as we speak.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

BINGO, Rhythm. He was welcomed, and, since he asked for dialogue in his intro, starting a thread as he did, I do not think he has been ill-welcomed, though he's done fuck-all for his premise.

But Ryft...established members were trying to "gentley" guide said noobie to make a post in an appropriate thread..Mabe Fred didn't get the PM from one of the mods asking him to do so??
