<p>It seems relatively clear to me that such comments are too chatty / mildly incongruent with SE policy.  That said, it seems nice to welcome people to SE, especially in light of the fact that I have often seen CV being accused of being unfriendly to newcomers in meta.CV discussions.  </p>

<p>I agree with @chl.  If I ran the zoo, I'd check the OP's userpage to see if they've been around since the comment was left.  If they had, I would delete the comment at that point&mdash;it has served its purpose.  If they hadn't been around, but it's been a couple of days, they may be a drive-by asker and won't come back to attend to their question anyway; I'd probably delete.  On the other hand, if the comment hasn't been there long, and the OP hasn't been back in the interim, I'd let it stay and check back in a couple days.  </p>
