I think we should say "hi" back and welcome them and be nice of course, but if they don't say anything after just "hello", then why should we try to stop what we're doing to keep talking to them? All of us on chat have been in a newbie's shoes at one time - when we were new. We found a way to make an effort to talk to people.

All I'm saying is that if you give an effort, then I will give an effort back.
