Isn’t the teeming millions list good enough?

Haven’t had the chance to ask OpalCat about this, but I don’t see anywhere to add one’s name and profile to the Teeming Millions list. And no one seems to have been added since '99.

I’m reasonably sure that there will be no additions to Opal’s TeemingMillions page unless someone wants to volunteer to do the adding, themselves. Opal’s webmistress duties have developed into full-time work and she has expended about as much energy as she can afford on the TMHP. After almost three years, that is one hobby that she is letting go. (I believe that she has a notice to that effect on either the TMHP home page or the Teeming Millions page behind it.)

Opal stated [HERE](http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/005292.html) that the TMHP was finished, and there are new folks who sign up **here** every day. So I have to say that no, the Teeming Millions List isn’t good enough any longer. We “newbies” can be among the devotees of Cecil, even if we can’t be among the Teeming Millions.

As Opal said, new stuff may be added, but don’t count on it.  
That aside, I think the TMHP is a masterpiece, and Opal should be admired and adored for all of the work she has put into it! It’s been said, but Opal, you rrrRock!!

I will not be used!! Oh, wait, I’m an appliance. Never mind…

Never heard of any “Master List,” but I note that a) it’s closed, and, b) I’m not on it, either as Eve or as Flora McFlimsey.

Beatle is cordially invited to bite me.

Silly children - the thread got too big, so they closed it and opened a part two. If you’d look in ATMB, you’d see it, but since you don’t seem capable, here’s the link:

Go, sign up, be counted. It’s the SDMB 2000 census.

You know, Esprix, I’m on there and I _still_ haven’t received my free prize. Do you need my address? I can email it to you if you do! That must be what the problem is. 😛

Why? What is this list obsession?

Oh, and if you rock, Esprix, just shove a folded up piece of cardboard under one leg, that’ll probably help stabalize you.

Shits and giggles? I dunno, something to do. It’s not mandatory.

On the neck?

Eve, my dear, I am not adding names to the list, I’m just periodically compiling the names of those who add themselves to the list, as you have done. Good to see you there!
