A warm welcome is what I'd like to feel at the beginning. I would like to see this expressed in words of appreciation that I found it to the group and that I should look around to see if I'd like to stay and contribute to the group. I would like to see this expressed in an image that welcomes the colourfulness and diversity of each group member to the other. I would like to see my name and the group's name used in its openness towards individual interpretations - in its singular as well as its plural meaning, in its visibility as well as in its audibility. I would like to be informed about basic rules of interaction in a culture neutral, unbiased tone. I would behave accordingly.
