It would seem that maybe these newbies are going to different members in a thread of their interest to make contact. I don't mind sharing, I got ZERO issues with it.

That said, I believe newbies should peruse a site and maybe chime in a bit so folks get to know them before they go running for the gold, ya know.

I agree, we all were newbies at one point, but when someone just joins and there first contact is a PM for freebies this kind of rubs people wrong, as you said, post a little, get to know people, just join in lol.
