Thread-start limtation

[xoxoxoBruce]

The posts, including thread starts, are moderated for new members. If you see a new member starting a thread, someone has read and approved it.... ie, deemed it, and them, harmless.

I'd rather give them the benefit of the doubt, unless it's obviously spam, rather than kill a potentially good member because their post isn't polished. It's not cut and dried. I've agonized at length over some new registrants, looking for some clue on other forums, as to their intentions. I'm never quite sure if that ugly oyster contains a pearl.
