Signing On - Famous First Words

I wandered around A2K last night and ended up looking at the first posts that a relatively random group of folks made. Many of us were refugees from Abuzz. The quotes are heavily abridged and bear no connection to each other.

Letty (joined 9/23/02-now at 31,500 posts/19 per day): ""Well, I made it here."
Sozobe (10/16/02-37,000/22): "Nice to see you."
Mysteryman (11/27/02-3,800/2): "Am I welcome here?"
Gus (5/27/03-16,200/11): "A tentative hello from a simple capybara farmer."
Cicerone (10/22/02-42,000/25): It seems I got my wish to be Moderator/Editor of the Travel Forum."
Occum Bill (12/4/03-9,300/7): "Wake up pal."
Dyslexia (11/30/02-22,100/14): "Yesterday was the anniversary of the sand creed massacre."
