Maybe to some people, launching in with a bunch of stuff about themselves seems like attention seeking, whilst just saying a quick hello feels like the polite thing to do.

The OP just did the virtual equivalent of walking into our coffee shop and saying, 'Oh, hello my name's John, pleased to meet you'.


Oh, and welcome to the Cellar, John.
