Sue, you were posting in November 2000 and maybe earlier!

damn, Maybe it was Jan 2000. I'm going to have to look it up again!

Our wings are not tired.

So I was a bit concerned that another 100 posts had appeared. I couldn't imagine what more could be said. But it was Natter. Woo! 9/30/01 Bitches, didn't know that people lurked before posting.

I know the reason I delurked was because I finally got a decent computer at home, thinking I didn't want to post during work. HA!!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Even though the polls close at 6:00 Board time, I'm probably not going to be able to post the results until about 7:00 or 8:00. They will go up tonight though.

I delurked in 2003, I think, as a Wonderfalls fan. I think P-C and Kristin showed up around when I did.

Yep, but it was 2004. I can't say that I delurked since I basically started posting within minutes of finding the board. My first night was Random Acts of PayPal. It was amazing.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Hmm, it appears that my first post was on December 1st 1999. It was widely ignored since it consisted of "ANGLE IS SUCK" followed by spam for my website of obscene vegetable photographs.

I delurked officially (use of the delurk tag was mandatory back in those days and enforced with zeal) on January 20th 2000. This post linked to my 30 page essay "WHY ANGLE IS SUCK AND SPIKE IS TOO", which Dr. Satan and Dana declared to be both "deeply flawed" and "barely coherent". The subsequent flame war lasted for six months; that's why we never got around to discussing the season 4 finale.

After a period of enforced exile I was allowed to return on condition that I submit to a series of painful injections, administered by Jon B., and anger management counselling. The abject failure of these precautions, my adventures on the Canadian border and the unmasking of Ellen S. as an Armenian spy are a tale best saved for another day.

Trust my rage

Yep, but it was 2004.

Wow, you are right. Seems longer somehow.

Hi Tom!

This is when I delurked too.
