Based on [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=149893) thread, I just curious if I have made the slightest impression anyone? Have I made a mark, or am I one of the 28,000 unknowns? Just curious. Thanks! ---

As a very-long-time unkown, lemme tell you: you just have to come to terms that there are maybe two dozen people here that everyone knows. If that. The rest of us just have to get by with getting to know a small handful of people. If you’re lucky. That’s just the way it is. ---
