Oh, I also think it sounds lame. I was just coming up with a title.

As far as reaching out to people, that's different for everyone. Judging from uh_oh's comment on this, it seems that we share a type of reservation when approaching people. I realize that a lot of people don't feel the same way - like you. But I've been a user a fifth as long as you and uh_oh and other users less than that.

Anyway, your comment was cool. I'll get over the hesitancy, but the point was for new users and not me.

True, I understand getting to know such a large community can be daunting. I also understand feeling a sort of hesitancy when it comes to contributing to a new online community. I never really felt comfortable contributing to reddit for similar reasons. It just felt too big and I felt like my voice would get drowned out. So I can relate in a way. But on Hubski, in my experience, when you reach out to someone - you'll get a response - and usually its an overwhelmingly friendly/interesting response.
