Hi everyone!  I like that bitcointalk allows for a centralized forum for discussions on Bitcoin related businesses, but it's very odd when you would like to participate in the forum, and you're banished to Newbie purgatory.  By limiting us this way, it seems to prohibit an ability to interact with the business you would like to speak with, and you're stuck having to jump through some weird hoop of posting a large post (such as this one) and then waiting four hours before you can finally speak with the company you showed up to speak with in the first place... Weird...  I guess it must work, but I am concerned as to what length is considered "more than a few sentences" as well as the merit of posting to a newbie forum when you have nothing much to share on that topic.  Such is life.  Well thanks for reading!  Have a great day!  Adieu!
