Nothing wrong with the gestures of welcome and certainly there is no harm done.

The way I see it is, some people register and don't post anything for a while, then all of sudden there is spam or unauthorized links.
I noticed this guy yesterday morning and after some "scouting" I was not so keen on the sound of his email addy, but until he/she posts there is always the benefit of the doubt....
Newbies are placed on the moderating queue , so members don't get to see the dodgy posts anyway...
