Gotta admit, I've never understood the point of "New Member Introductions"

[Physocles]

Can anyone fill me in? I'm sure they're useful for something, as most forums want you to post in one. My guess is weeding out those who sign up but never post/didn't read the directions.
I've been shooting most of my life, but have always been a wood and steel lever/bolt/pump kind of guy. What can I say, I was raised by my grandpa. Just now getting into the AR platform.

Welcome to OSA. Intros are not a requirement by any means. We already leaned a few things about you though. You like classic styles firearms over plasticool. Me too. Enjoy the place for a bit. Most knowledgeable group of folks around.

It's not a requirement to introduce one's self here. It may be recommended but is a nice way to let everyone know why you're here.
Welcome to OSA.

Hello, glad you could make it.
Now that you've introduced yourself...."we'll treat ya just like family".

Not required, but it goes a long ways towards showing an intent to be a part of the community and gives an open platform to tell everyone a bit about yourself.

I'm a wood and steel guy myself. Fond of old .22s and consonantly growing the collection.

Oh, and..

Every internet message board seems to have it's one peculiar tradition. Introductions is kind of the one here, but as stated it's not a requirement, it's just so we can say Welcome!

You did an awesome job!
