Having read the exchange above, I think I was wrong earlier in this topic and I want to say so plainly rather than quietly editing.

The correction was fair and I had been repeating something I had not checked carefully enough.

post #45 is right about the mechanism and I think understates the practical bit.

What to include: your name or handle, how you found the community, what brings you here, maybe something about yourself that seems relevant (clinician, researcher, person using these compounds, curious). Anything you are comfortable sharing.

I read post #45 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

Say hello. No question required. Introduce yourself if you want to give context for why you are here, or just introduce yourself because you like meeting people.

Community culture: introductions give you a sense of who is here. Reading a few introduces you to the people and the tone of the community.

No spam: introductions are not a place to advertise commercial products or services. That is a rules violation.

Ongoing: you can post multiple introductions over time. If you return after a long break, reintroducing yourself is fine.

Picking up post #48: that is the part I would want checked first.

Thank you for the correction. I have edited my earlier post with a note rather than silently, so the thread still makes sense to read. The error was mine and it was the kind that comes from remembering a figure instead of looking it up.

Coming back to post #50, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

Privacy: share only what you are comfortable making permanent and public. An introduction is archived and searchable; do not include information you will later regret posting.

Ongoing: you can post multiple introductions over time. If you return after a long break, reintroducing yourself is fine.

No spam: introductions are not a place to advertise commercial products or services. That is a rules violation.

This follows post #52 rather than contradicting it.

Welcome: the response to introductions is usually welcome. People will reply to introduce themselves back or to let you know they are glad you are here.
