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.)

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.

I can see you've played Knifey-Spoony before.
Honestly that was either not a three day conversation or I have been assuming it was a different conversation this whole time. It was like 3/4 of a day.
Aw, I'm the same vintage as Ginger and Wolfram. That makes me happy.
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.
Ah yes. And we finally understood the vegetable porn when you revealed your true image on WX as a being with a human body and a large tomato for a head.
