What about those of us from alt.fan.cecil-adams? I remember seeing **Flodnak** there back in '94. ---

I was on the AOL boards in '97, came over here very shortly after it opened. ---

I’m also a long time lurker but in the last day I’ve posted 3 times! Maybe I’m starting to come out of my shell. ---

Yes, but I suspect this was all a clever ploy to up my post count so that someone else can swoop in and claim the coveted crown of Lurker With The Least To Say. The fact that this would be the most pointless conspiracy ever doesn’t mean it couldn’t be true. ---

I have achieved the status of Legendary Procrastinator! I might as well confess that I lurked at the AOL boards too. I think this might actually take me from lurker status right into stalker\*. \*Though not in any legally binding way. ---

Join the fan club? Certainly! I’ve always wanted minions! Of course, first you’d have to form the fan club but, after that, you’re definitely welcome to join. And for starting it, you’d get the coveted title of #2 Fan\*. - I’ve seen Misery. I’m leery of anyone getting to claim to be my #1 fan. ---
