I'm brand new to Steemit (I'm yet to do an introduction post) and have been gobbling up posts like this - yours is one of the best I've come across so far, so thank you very much!

I have written a post which I'm pretty happy with (I'd upvote it!) but a few posts I've read have said you more or less have to start with an introduction post... do you think this is true? I have much more interesting things to say than "this is me, I like X, this is my face (pic), these are my other interests", so a #helloworld post just seems a bit silly. Thanks in advance for your help : )
