When I first joined up as a member at SDMB, I didn’t know what to expect. I’ve been an Internet user for around 10 years and have explored many a forum over the years. However, on review of many of the threads, I found this to be by far the most civilized, informed, informative, and helpful collection of people I had ever found on the 'Net. So I joined. I’m now sitting at 1.17 posts per day, meaning to me that the SDMB is now a little part of my everyday life. I enjoy checking in to see what other people are talking about, learn about topics that I never would have thought about until someone else asked, and find answers to my own questions. I’ve started a few threads, a couple of which have gone “bump” in the night, a couple of which have not really addressed to completion my interest in the matter, and many which have helped me to understand things that I formerly did not and others that helped me to formulate new opinions. I’ve also made several posts that I wish I hadn’t, the result being that I’ve become convinced that I must hook up a breathalyzer to my computer so that it won’t let me post if I’ve been out drinking. Anyway, I just figured that I ought to mark the occasion of my 200th post with some kind of rambling about my experience here. Y’all are great. Thanks for being out there and enriching my life. ---

Oh, and I must point out that I wish I’d known when registering that spaces and capitals were allowed. The capital ‘M’ is by luck, as I just happened to type it that way. It has always annoyed me that “Morkfromork” reads like a word, when really it should read “Mork From Ork” or at least, “MorkFromOrk”. ---

**Eilsel** : click on the button ‘profile’ below your post. You’ve got a whopping 20.85 posts per day. Congrats, MFM. I’ve already sped past you, due to a little addiction to this place, that thankfully is loosening its hold on me. I want that thing you call a life as well! 😉 ---

Oh, and Eilsel, I couldn’t help reading the rest of your profile as well. If I interpret it correctly, I see you have a darling son (ds) and a darling daughter (dd). Then, you also have a **darling Og**! :eek: What, I’m not allowed to have a little fun with a newerbie? ---

(Sorry, sorry, it’s just that it’s higher than 2000 posts.) Happy 200, **Morkfromork**! Oh, watch out for this place – I’ve gotten more addicted as time passes! ---

You know, when I first joined, I had aspirations of living up to Q.E.D.'s standards. But alas, I went M.I.A. for over 4 weeks, and now I have a lot of catching up to do. I’ll get you yet, Q.E.D.! Signed, The MeatBeast
