It's hard to not do a "canned" greeting before you've met a person.
When you walk up to a stranger the script pretty much is *offer hand* "Hi I'm *insert name*, nice to meet you."
Mine is, "Hi - welcome to Backstage, care for some tea?"
In all seriousness, glad to see you are reading and please do post, people here are friendly and don't bite. And if you have any questions do feel free to ask. And do contribute - you'll find it very enjoyable here.
And in my defense - it's my job to greet everyone; a. just encase I meet someone new to make friends with and b. my boyfriend told me to? He told me to actually post on Backstage somehow and say hi to everyone - this seemed the easiest way.
