At last to guess, instead of always knowing.
I'm delurking right now* AIFG!
- Not exactly true, since I've posted a couple of times before, and who knows if I'll ever post again, but someone had to say it...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, use of Buffista-specific acronym and a footnote in small font! That's some advanced posting.

"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."

Ah, yes... Good times... Good times....
Almost as much fun as the time we got into that fight with Mitt Romney after he said that the stories on 'Charmed' made more sense. Jeez that man kicks like a frickin' mule. I still think he just had a thing for Alyssa Milano, though.
Anyway, I should get back in my box. I'm not supposed to be posting without supervision.

Okay, you people have made me actually track down my first post. You'd think I didn't have work to do. I found b.org as part of the great Firefly invasion of Aught Two, but I did lurk some on the Bronze, back in the day.

I have no idea why I should choose to delurk to discuss the nature of souls, but I think a soul, in the Jossverse, is the thing for which the devil and Daniel Webster were contesting. In the concept of selling your soul to the devil, you sell your chance of heaven for a guarantee of immediate pleasures -- power or money or fame. That concept has come up specifically -- the Mayor, for example, joked about selling his. I think that in this context a soul, more than anything else, is the potential for redemption.
eta: It took me a while to register. I initially failed to grasp the usefulness of "Read New."

12/16/02 - joined in the great tvguide.com, firefly-cancellation, buffista-link wave of, um, joiners. And other than a few guacs in the early days, it's been fun. And addictive. Oh so addictive. Must stop hitting read new and return to work.

November 17, 2000. But I had lurked quite some time and read all the threads prior to that one. (I started watching Buffy in season 3 and I can't believe how long it took me to find you guys.)

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I'm delurking right now* AIFG!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

T'ISH MAGEV (impostor): You're deeply ambivalent.
ANGEL: Well... I am and I'm not.
I had probably lurked for about a year before that, and I 'm not sure I posted again until the migration to WX.

I joined in about January of 2003, I think. No reason, other than needing a web site to read at the time. Also, I'd been hearing about the Buffy boards for a couple years before that.
No lurking for me, I just jumped right in. I believe it was during the Great Three Day Knife and Fork conversation, or thereabouts.
Also, I always love it when Nilly has a lot to say.
