I might just have noticed for the first time that we’ve got an astorian and an asterion. ---

I have been here a long while, but my posting habits are erratic to say the least. I estimated perhaps 3-10 people may recognize my handle and put a few posts of mine together with it. ---

Based on my research 78% of Dopers have no idea I exist. Of the remainder 11% know me from gently informing me whatever I posted in GQ was incorrect, 5% think I left the Board years ago and my name only appears in zombie threads, and 5% think I’m **Featherlou.** ---

With my big brain and probing questions many say I am indeed full of it, so they must know me, and I just came on last month. But I am here to fight ignorance and there is a bunch of work to do here. ---

> [@Hal\_Briston](#): > > A hell of a lot, for all the wrong reasons. I know you. Not personally, I mean, but I’ve read your posts from time to time over the years. Baa baa. > [@BellRungBookShut-CandleSnuffed](#): > > Having a long name means it sticks out more easily, but I have no idea about a number. Don’t care, neither 🙂 I remember you too, and more than one thread where your name was discussed. I really like the rhythm and image of it; it’s one of my favorite names here. > [@Malleus\_Incus\_Stapes](#): > > I didn’t think I was that memorable, but from a comment in another thread it seems I am. So… I’m going with the 20+ option, but I have no clue. I should probably get some help on this. Dopers, if you recognize me please send a warm gushy note on how awesome I am to the **M,I,S! Fan Club**. Getting my gender right gets you plantinum membership. You’re another one who usually comes up in the “favorite Dopername” threads. I’m afraid I couldn’t remember much about you or your story if someone asked, but if I ran into you in a dark thread I wouldn’t run away. > [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > I put 50+. Not that I’m terribly _popular_, but I have a really, really long name, and I post in most of the forums, which makes a big difference. Your name sticks out, which helps get my rusty gears spinning, and although I don’t venture in the BBQ Pit or Great Debates too often, I’ve found I’m usually on the same “team” as you, so I remember you. **Shodan** is the “Regards, Shodan” guy. **Silverstreak Wonder** : You’re that guy that likes to poke people with sticks. **Tamerlane** , **StGermain** , **Tripler** are all posters that I’ve grown to ‘know’ through reading their posts over the years. As for me, probably a half dozen, if that. I read far more than I post, and I don’t often post much of value. There’s a few subjects that if there’s a thread on it you can probably expect to see me posting in with a fairly decent (IMHO) degree of knowledge, but outside of that I’m mostly inane drivel. ---

A lot of people know me. That hardly makes me popular. ---

I’m shy and I try to post under the radar mostly. But I would think a few people would recognize me from the MMP from a while ago. And I have a couple nice friends. So perhaps a few people might recognize my name. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rate-your-own-popularity-on-the-dope/520153.md?page=11)
