If you don’t have a status bar, there’s a way to show it from the View menu or something like that.

#33 Lowest number except for Admin. Longest continuous member & charter member except for Admin. Was on AOHell boards also back in the day… Obviously 32 lower numbers, see Lynn’s #2… But they either dropped for a while & came back so they lost the low numbers or they left for good.

I lurked a bit before I joined on September 14th, 1999. I assume a lot of people know more stuff about me than they actually do. Many still aren’t aware I am living in Australia unless I mention it, even though I’ve been here since before I joined the SDMB. ---
