I noticed that my replies in the "Introduce Yourself" section does not count towards your total number of posts and was wondering why.

As a new member I know how nice it feels to receive a warm welcome.
I have especially enjoyed the "What Made You a Hanger" thread... some wonderful nostalgia there!

I would like to think this section of the forums counts for just as much as the others and new membership helps to keep things lively and growing!
Any insight would be welcome!
