Doesn't our FSM history make us at least near-originals? Though I admit, few of the FSM crowd have remained since they re-opened their board a few years ago.

I sympathize with you, Kirk. I've had the same problem ever since I started using the internet --- although in my case, it's not only threads that drop dead after I've meddled in; more than once entire discussion forums have dropped dead after I've joined them.

Spooky.

Oh yes, Captain, do I too know of what you speak. Probably hold a record for the longest original posts to the shortest threads. Makes one feel like a social leper.

"Near-originals." I like that, Marian.
Cheers.
