I’ve been in and out of these threads for even longer than I thought: after posting in the “25th anniversary of SDMB!” thread the other day I did some wandering down memory lane, and it turns out that my second-ever post (in July 2004) was in a “Whatcha Readin’?” thread! And Dung Beetle replied to me first back then, too.
