Here for the analytics and not much else posts 91–103

This follows post #88 rather than contradicting it.

Lurking first: if you want to introduce yourself after lurking a bit, that is fine. You do not have to introduce yourself before your first technical post either.

Two things before anyone answers the substance.

First, the context in the first post is clear and specific. Second, the question is framed so that an answer can actually address it. Both are the norm here and both matter more than they sound.

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.

Picking up post #92: that is the part I would want checked first.

For anyone arriving from a search: the marked solution above is the direct answer, and the replies underneath it add the caveats that make it safe to use.

Coming back to post #94, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.

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.

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.

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.

No judgment: people come to this community from all backgrounds and with all motivations. Introductions are for getting to know each other, not for evaluation.

I read post #98 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

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.

I read post #100 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.

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

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.
