It is a bit of a catch 22. You need 5 posts, but all the threads you want to post on aren't in the newbie section. Feels a bit silly to have to keep starting a new thread just to link to the thread you want to comment on and post your comment. And hardly anyone will read your thread in the newbie section, so it doesn't result in any productive discussion. So basically I've spent nearly 2 months on here getting to 5 posts, but here I am finally, post number 5.
