@jespah,
You give me too much credit there - Lightwizard was a very early member once it was a2k and then he nagged me to join (we emailed a bunch back then) and I think you sent me messages too. Ms. Oblivious waited a bit, so my join date was Oct. 28, 2002. Several others joined around then - I think Fbaezer was one of them. Walter beat me to the site by ten days. Criminy, I've 78,000 posts. I post pretty consistently, hell or high water, unless something else is going on, an engrossing book, miscellaneous household travails, or, as in the last day or two, a total engagement with trying to set up my Fantasy Baseball draft list.
Not sure when I joined abuzz - either late 2000 or early 2001. Got locked out of it for some reason I was way too thick headed to understand, having to do with cookies; people kept telling me and I couldn't seem to fix that. There was therefore a hiatus then during an icky time, a few months around Sept. 11. Got back into abuzz for a while and then gave up on the mess it became.
I joined Raven's Realm, but never figured it out (doh!)
Long live a2k.
