So if the OP had an ATP with and some turbine time, he would still have to
"sit back and see how everyone interacts"?

Lots of time and advanced tickets does not mean you will know how to
interact within this, or any other newsgroup.

Lets say you walk into a crowded room, full of people talking about common
interests you have. Do you barge in, and start talking, or do you listen a
while, and join into conversations, and once you know some people, start
some conversations on your own?

The polite person would learn the group dynamics, and join in, rather than
trying to dominate.
