You're right, I could have gone trawling through the forum looking for subjects in which to add something of proper value, however, my main objective for registering was to respond to a for sale ad which adds a bit of a time issue.
Another issue with adding value right from the start is the level of knowledge already on this forum.** You guys know a lot about bike related subjects** so bringing something new and valuable to the table isn't all that easy, especially if it has to be stuff that haven't already been posted a trillion times before.
Then again, I could just have done what most people seems to do and made my first post a "Hello all", my second post a "Lol" and my third post a "3'rd post, woohoo!", but then we're back at pointless.
**Being in a bit of a time crunch **I chose to rant a little about my view on spam measures that targets real people. I'm glad to hear that your current system works, that makes the inconvenience slightly less annoying.
do you even pfft?
