Edited the most recent welcome post and the post of mine that it linked to.

Does anyone have a 1-syllable synonym for 'aspiring'? It seems like we need to impose better discipline on this for official posts.

Consider "how you came to aspire to rationality/be a rationalist" instead of "identify as an aspiring rationalist".

Or, can the identity language and switch to "how you came to be interested in rationality".
