Would this be the first ever SDMB posting on the web?

If so, what conclusions can we draw from this?

That the quality with time plot of the posts would go, over 6-8 months:

I think Ed Zotti has the first post in every forum.

I know beatle. The bastard! He thinks he owns this place, or something…

The reason I thought it was the first post ever for the SDMB on the web is because of the date, and the URL (Forum1/000001.html)

I find it ironic (or premonitory) that the thread ends by Ed Zotti closing it and saying “this is going nowhere.”

Not ironic, beatle. Fitting…

Note the bolded passage (bolding is mine). Then don’t ever fuss about someone doing a rant about punctuation again! :slight_smile:

FTR, I don’t think Beatle is a bastard. Of course, the Evil One may have info. I don’t… :wink:

Satan, I told ya’ man, we gotta keep that quiet! You don’t want me talkin’ about your heritage, do you?
