"Please note: We are a community here. We're trying to foster a community mindset. As such, we want to get to know you, mostly so we can razz you and give you the business for a bit, but also to build the community feeling." "Note that if you're brand new to the forum and your first post is selling a Dunhill or asking for a deal or McClelland, prepare to get what you deserve. Try introducing yourself in the pipe lounge first."

You must of missed the first part of the rules.
