Default Why Bother?

I am pretty new here, but I have to wonder why people post the same "welcome from <fill in the blank> in response of people posting in this section? Is it to build up their number of posts or ???

I don't get it. They add nothing to the forum, yet many people seem to do it regularly.

What am I missing here?

I post in the new members section to bring my post count up because Terry pays me 50 cents for every 100 post and I'm working my way to a new Lego set. [8D]

We do it to be nice and make people feel welcome and not ignored. Your negative view of someone's good intentions says alot about YOUR outlook now, don't it ???

Well, I have met a few folks just by saying hi to them..either because they live near or, have questions about the forum....whatever.

When folks say hi to you don't you respond??
