I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am not sure who all you people are, but ...

Yeah, but I've been here the longest. In case anyone's forgotten.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I don't know. It looks like five people have got you beat.

Oh, you are not going to make me pull out proof.

And "here" equals "the Buffy threads back on TT". There was life before the Phoenix, though it seems hard to believe.

So there was Agnes and then there was Dana?

The funny thing is, I don't think I ever posted with Agnes. I came into the thread right around the beginning of third season. Um, the episode where Cordelia gets impaled and they fakeout her funeral at the end. I can't remember the name any more.

God, I'm going to get kicked off the board for failing Buffy 101.

"Lover's Walk"

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Um, the episode where Cordelia gets impaled and they fakeout her funeral at the end. I can't remember the name any more.

That would be "Lover's Walk."

Okay, I had to go look at that first thread. I'm getting severe whiplash from seeing all of those names.

My first post was #442, which was a year and a half into the thread life.

And another thing that always amuses me -- someone spoiled "Becoming, Part I" before it aired.

Oh, and a spoiler for the season finale:

Supposedly, Angel gets his soul back. Hmmm. Hope they'll do something more with Oz -- he wasn't in it last week, and there wasn't much with Cordelia, either.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Dana forgot "Lover's Walk," neener, neener! (I always remember that Dana was here longest, 'cause she was one of the pivotal people who caused me to stick around. Spicy brains!)

Agnes barely posted, actually. I think she was just happy to not be the only, ahem, Watcher, and that was pretty much it. Not that I was there. But there were archives.

I agree with ita that once a lurker has touched the corpus in one way or another, they're not a lurker. Those are the people I want to accommodate. The rest of them, while they may be perfectly lovely human beings, are Schroedinger's lurkers, and we can't know what they want until they...open the posting box.

Gee. I wonder how far I could extend that metaphor? I'd better stop now before it involves tails and catfood and dangerously toxic cat scratching posts.

Dana, I totally am going back to the first thread too. I came in on the 4th thread - season 5.

Agnes hardly ever posted, did she?

And so few names that I recognize in that thread.
