Sadly, I don’t think I’ve seen your picture before. But I imagine you as being very cute, so if you aren’t, please don’t ruin it for me.

I remember the posters who habitually crack my shit up. **lieu** ’s posts in general and **Scylla** ’s OP’s in particular. Rants are always good, and **NinjaChick** gets on a tear sometimes. And I’ll never forget **Eve** ’s “gotcha ya” post, which I think is the funniest thing ever posted.

I also remember some of the insurance people, like **Inigo Montoya** and **Ginger of the North**.

I am glad you haven’t had time to begin your program of serial stalking dopers. If you ever end up with the time, please remember how nice I’ve been to you and kill me last.

Duly noted. 😉

I wonder if the mods have something similar to this that helps them keep track of posters they need to keep an eye on. I’m sure a system is in place that lists warnings and such, but they always seem to be on top of even the patterns of certain posters. Ones who ‘drive-by’ threads, who post opinions in GQ, etc.

I can only remember a handful of posters, namely people whose names are references that I know i.e. Malacandra, Helen’s Eidolon, Elendil’s Heir, Speaker for the Dead etc. I’ve only met three Dopers so that’s not helping me much. Oh, and of course the celebs, Der Trihs being a notable one 😉

It’s funny but on the Guardian talkboards I’ve managed to form much more lasting knowledge of people more easily than here and it doesn’t have avatars either. Don’t know why that is.

I was making a little joke, because you misspelled “deserve.” Diserve, disservice … sigh.
