Question: My supervisor started the e-mail thread of welcoming me to the team/department. Several team members has already replied (including the boss of my supervisor so I'm extra nervous) with a brief but warm welcome message. I was wondering what is the best way to reply in this thread.

This is my first fully remote role so I am not that familiar with how it works yet.

Would a short reply like "Thanks for the warm welcome, I'm excited to be working with everyone and I'm looking forward meeting you in the upcoming weeks." or Should I be adding my professional background/main tasks of my role/hobbies/etc. ?

Your suggested reply is perfect. Stop fretting.
It's human nature believe it or not for people to want to help, show or instruct others so use this to your advantage because you won't be able to later on. Very graciously thank everyone for the welcome and then fall on your sword and concede very briefly and in the tamest way express your appreciation for those who will bare with you and understand that there are things you will have to learn and appreciate their understanding and help........ I am truly taken back at how welcomed I have been made to feel. I look forward to working with and getting to know you all. I'm hoping to get up to speed as quickly as possible and appreciate in advance your patience and understanding in learning the ways of this new endeavor. I am so excited and grateful to be here. Thank you all again.
