It took me a week or two to find this forum when I was new to Bitcoin, an by that time I think I had 0.3 or so anyway. I thought about asking for one of the free 0.01 but I figured someone else needs it more than I do, or someone else is more greedy than I am ! That, and that few days when BitVisitor was offering 4mBTC and 1.76 mBTC per visit, I was getting 0.01 easily.
