How long does it usually take for someone to reply to a newbies introduction? Do regulars usually ignore them or did I break a netiquette rule by saying too much? Think I've already messed up from the start. Sorry. :oops:

Hi, and welcome.

To a certain extent, responses are a matter of luck. It depends on who is on and how many other new messages are posted at the same time. If there are a lot of other new messages, your message might get lost.

Long messages are not a breech of protocol, but I think that short messages with specific questions probably get a better response.

8O Well why not? And maybe a little anxious for that first response?

Welcome, Nikkle. :lol:

It's up to them, and you've done nothing of the sort. Just because people don't reply doesn't mean they don't like you or that you've done something wrong. ;)
