I looked at my first post and, hmm, looks like something I could have posted today. Even though it was almost 13 years ago.
Interesting to look back at my old posts, I didn’t really become active until 2015. My first post was in 2009, and then I posted again in 2010 (both were responses to Cecil articles, as for years I read the Straight Dope but wasn’t all that interested in the SDMB). Then a random reply in 2014 to Johnny_LA about Spam and sushi in Cafe Society. And that was it until 2015, when I started posting multiple times a day. Mostly I read the articles, then was a board lurker somewhat (General Questions was my first draw, since they were like community-driven Straight Dope articles).
I don’t think I’ve changed much at all, looking at my old posts. I’m pretty boring.
