@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.
