Happy (belated) Platinum Anniversary to coluber2001. Four days ago was your 20th anniversary here at a2k.

Who's bringing the cake? Champagne? Appetizers? Shall we have a live band or DJ?

@tsarstepan,
Wow, I never really thought to look before. My first post was November '04, so I turn 20 this year as well.

@jcboy,
JC? Your a2k account will be old enough to vote but it will miss the presidential election this year.

Been here since Nov 5, 2002.
My presence on Abuzz was sort of positive, often bad. Thanks to Joanne Dorel I made it here.

21 and never been kissed. Fondled, maybe!

{edit: oops, there was my time spent on Abuzz. Then it’s 25 years as I think it was in ‘98 or ‘99}

Apropos of that, my screen name copies my email address which is my initials plus the Mass home state.

@Ragman,
I had to check my entrance date, it was Nov 11th 2002...I'm not sure which anniversary that would meet, but it's still not long enough to be a silver anniversary.

But I've met a bunch of interesting people who feel like family, I consider that a marvelous outcome. I didn't count the years I spent on NYTimes Abuzz or Seattle Buzz but most of it was great (except for the rancid trolls), but the trolls are somewhat relentless........all the way until they get tossed out. Life is complicated.

Not sure many people had the chance to count the years for that forum. It really didn't last particularly long.

I'm glad my memory on this subject is nonexistent. And I was REALLY active on the politics board back then. I vaguely remember being ranked somehow on that board. I could be misremembering that.

Before the New York Times bought Abuzz (in 2001/2, I think), it was associated with the Boston Globe - I joined in 1998.

I got a pencil and notice-paper via airmail from the NYT.
