I'm posting this in the Newby section, because a silly trend is going on. When welcoming people in the newby section, check to see who you are welcoming, please. Right now there is a revived thread with 3-4 new welcomes to a person who has been a member for over a year. In the past month I have seen "Welcomes" to many people members or 6-9 months, in many cases longer than the people doing the welcoming.

I'm sorry, but by doing this it actually diminishes the welcome (i.e. I'm just tossing out a generic welcome without checking to see who it is really going to).
