Is there something in particular that’s extra special about this thread? I don’t get it. ---

It has **MY** name in the title! 😃 😛 [SUB]Attention 'ho that I am[/sub] Also, this thread has more posts by you than any other single thread on the board. And more posts by me than any other single thread on the board. And more posts by Kathryn than any other single thread on the board. Possibly Guinastasia, too, but probably not yet. Give her time. Oh, and Guin, love the amendment to your sig! 🙂 ---

I don’t know… it’d be a close contest between this thread and the thread where Kathryn and I first met. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Medea’s Child \* > \*\*Dan…what was our first thread? \*\* You know, I was trying to find them. There were two. This was one: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=28473](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=28473) This was when I first noticed you. When you were the first reply to a thread I started complimenting another poster (Diane). About a week later, there was a post where you replied to me and told me to stop drinking. You then e-mailed me, as you said. I’ve spent the last half hour looking for it, and I can’t find it. It must have been resurrected well after it was opened–I’ve searched all of your posts [it’s easier to search yours than mine] during the applicable time period. No soap. \*\* > [@](#): > > I think I e-mailed you because I said something stupid and I didn’t want you to get mad at me…\*\* And things are different now exactly how? 😛 \*\* > [@](#): > > I can’t remember though… \*\* And things are different now exactly how? 😛 > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Medea’s Child \* > \*\*_grin_ > > Love you too bastard. \*\* Right back atcha! 😃 Oh, and I was serious about you calling me back–you know, since your sleep pattern is disturbed and all… ---
