I cannot agree with this attitude, I think the guy can pop into any thread and ask any question he wishes, whenever. Thats what a forum is all about, isn't it?
Who says every new member has to do an introductory thread that is read by so few and remembered by even less, before he's allowed by you to post a question?
Did you do an introductory post before ever posting anything? I didn't and cannot seem to find where it states by Nicke that its a forum rule.
I also didn't find your post reprimanding him 'polite' either but rather rude and full of self importance.
26,000 members now, if everyone posted a introductory thread the board would be cluttered.
Welcome to the board matey and take no notice of Faulty, think he was having an off day!!
