Question I just Need to Get This off My Chest......

Sorry if I am being a little over the top but I have noticed lots and lots of 'Hello' threads from people just joining the site. Nothing wrong with that at all, but isn't there a stickie at the top of the General/Chat Forum called ***Please Introduce Yourself***?

Come on now, it can't be that hard to just post there instead of on the main forum or is that not what that stickie is all about?

Now I know I don't have to read those kind of threads but I do like to read the 'Introductions' thread now and again. I also think they clutter up the main forum taking away from the general stuff in here that may get overlooked by 'skimming' through the thread titles if there are too many 'Hello....' threads....

Or am I just being a grumpy old fart?

What do you think?

15 posts and you want to take the Captain Grumpy crown? Get to the back of the queue mate, some of us have been in training for weeks for that one!
May I suggest some other fertile training topics, though?

What oil do you lads use by the way? And where can I buy Ducati spares? Do the belts really need doing every 2 years, my mate has a car that only needs them doing every 100,000 miles

Don't get me started.............................

Don't get me started.............................
Do I have to do a 6k/1 year service if I only done 1k miles in one year?
I was caught speeding but I am not at fault?
That PC that stopped me was picking on motorcyclists as usual they do. I only had a plate of a size of credit card and black semi transparent visor what is the problem?!
