Yeah well, judging by how quickly these Baker’s Dozens normally get filled and seeing how this one has slowed to a trickle, I’d say not everybody has those sources, much less pays attention to join dates. ---

There are an abundance of 99ers either past or present on the SDMB. There’s a few threads in which they are mentioned and/or participate. I’m sure at least 13 of them have participated in this thread. ---
