Hi Ryan - [ QUOTE ]
I've always been against the idea because it's harsh on new users. Never thought it would be very effective either.

[/ QUOTE ]Exactly.

But not a bad idea in some ways.

However, some of us would end up trying to make helpful suggestions to each new poster - and that would keep us from thinking about other matters that might better occupy our time.

And new posters would have to wait until the appropriate mod was on line. We probably all try to check in at least once every day, but some days, that's all it's going to be - just once, and sometimes we'll be pressed and not have a lot of time to deal properly with the new poster.

And after a while, it would be a drag.
