I would be suprised if more than 10 people recognize my name. I lurk far more than I post. ---

I’d say “many.” My name sticks in one’s head long after I’m gone. I’m not sure what people know about me, but they know the name. ---

The results of my poll indicate most Dopers have heard of me, though I don’t think that translates to popularity, since nobody invited me over for Christmas. So my vote is “Most - 100+” Science! ---

My point of recognition is being a past champoin of the He Hate Me keeper ff league. Why is there no catergory for 10-20 people? Apologies if someone else asked and I missed it. ---

But keep in mind it’s had it’s [fair](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=489243) [share](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=444500) of detractors. I’m really not doing it to be all high-and-mighty or anything. I think it started way back as an, “Oh sh\*t, I forgot. . .” thought, and I didn’t feel like rewriting the whole post. I end up using 'em as more comedy than anything else. But I _guarantee_ that if I should have a legacy here at the SDMB, it won’t be that I saved a guy with CPR, or that as a nine-year-old, I once corrected then-Gov. Tom Kean’s copy of Declaration of _Independents_ to the correct spelling, or that I was a halfway decent bomb tech killed by what OSHA will call “an unfortunate gym equipment malfunction.” No, it’ll be those damn, ubiquitous pre-sigs. Tripler Aw fuckit. I’m on a roll. ---

I put three to ten. If it weren’t for the weekly Office thread I would say none, or Maybe one or two. I don’t always ‘read’ a poster’s name, though I may still recognize it. ---

I’ve been here a little over a year, but I don’t post much, although I read threads just about every day, so I keep up. But popularity on the Dope? Less than stellar, but popularity is related in some fashion to a high posting rate. Since I don’t post much, no one knows me, therefore I’m not popular. Not unpopular, just, as I said, no one knows me. I’m actually okay with that, because I have little to add most of the time. Still and all, in the appropriate message board way, I feel I know a lot of you. You’re good people. ---

A few dozen sort of vaguely know who I am (which includes a few who think I’m asterion). I’d be surprised if more than handful actually CARED.
