I don’t consider myself part of the in crowd, but after 10 years and 10,000+ posts I get quite a few automotive questions. So I put down more than 100, but I still don’t think I am one of the cool kids. ---

I voted “a couple,” but I suspect that’s on the high side. 🙂 I also have delusions that someone will correct me and say it’s higher, but that probably won’t happen. ---

I guess I would assume that if folks end up in music threads, especially guitar related, they would recognize my username. Beyond that, no clue. ---

Well, in my two months on the board, I’ve apparently made [290 posts](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php), which works out to 4.62 posts a day (and even had someone friend me! Yay them!) Plus, ran into an old friend that I knew about 10 years before I started lurking here on the board. So if people don’t know me, I’ve just been posting into the wind - which is the story of my life and wouldn’t surprise me at all. ---

I’m pretty sure that no more than a handful of people would recognize my user name and have some sort of impression of me. My posts are mostly innocuous and forgettable. You’re forgetting this one already. ---

I think the only reason that people know me is I’m one of the Mafia whores and I figure there are about 30 or so that regularly play here so that’s where I put myself. Outside of that I’m more of a drive by poster. ---

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. I figured the easiest way to determine whether or not I “know” you is to post my mental flash card for you. So here are my mental flash cards for people who posted in this thread (and for whom I have mental flash cards). **bucketybuck** : Irish. Funny. May be thinking of kambuckta, but he/she is Australian. Fuck, I forget which is which. **kidneyfailure** : name familiar. Possibly a dialysis patient. **Covered\_In\_Bees** : thinks he’s a dude, in clear opposition to the majority of other posters. Posts about sex a lot. Kind of reminds me of myself. **Antinor01** : Gay. Posts a lot in SSM threads, unsurprisingly. **Hal Briston** : Has an adorable daughter. Possibly two. Didn’t fuck a sheep. **Plan B** : Conservative. Argumentative. Actually pretty reasonable. Also, funny. **Renee** : Hot. Married to another hot person. Artistic type - paints watercolors or tiptoes through tulips or something. **Shakes** : Used to be kind of crazy. Changed username from all caps. **Diogenes the Cynic** : I got nothing. Well, except Vikings fan, veteran, incurable liberal, former pothead/hippie, married, lives in Minnesota. **DianaG** : Likes to have a lot of sex a lot. Does not like people infringing on her right to have sex. Seems like she might be the old loud lady double-fisting gin and tonics at the bar, but is probably not actually old. My kind of chick. **BellRungBookShut-CandleSnuffed** : Has a name I always think I should recognize, from a book or somesuch **ShibbOleth** : My favorite person in the whole wide world. Except myself. **MeanOldLady** : Sort of like DianaG, only black, although I have no reason to believe DianaG is not also black, come to think of it. Is owed a boat by me. Like me, spends the most time in the Pit and IMHO. **jali** : Rings a bell. **Shagnasty** : is from Massachussetts, but lives in Louisiana. Or vice versa. Something like that. Has gun. Possibly several. **Chez Guevara** : English. Clever name. Posts in sports threads a lot. **Qadgop the Mercotan:** Prison doctor. Has a doper kid who possibly no longer posts here - **elf** something, I think. Has many disgusting yet fascinating stories. **Chessic Sense** : used to be \*\*IntelSoldier \*\*(possibly separate words or uncapitalized or something). **Unauthorized Cinnamon** : has best name ever. Female. Owns a pair of crotchfruit. Friendly. **NineToTheSky** : English. Father of IHaveHipposInMyGarden. Likes… war memorabilia? **chowder** : old feller in Manchester or environs. Has irresponsible son. Probably generally found with copy of \*The Sun \*opened to Page 3. \*\*Malleus, Incus, Stapes!: \*\*Female. Do not understand username. Feel angry because do not understand username. Is new-ish. **IvoryTowerDenizen** : Female. Good at Feuds. **MsWhatsit** : Kinda motherly, in a good way. **mswas** : Unpredictable. Tends to swing back and forth in my estimation from “douche” to “good guy”, occasionally within minutes. More conservative than general population of boards in most areas. Massage therapist. Married. **Rick** : Knows everything there is to know about Volvos, except not to buy them (just kidding!) **WordMan** : Is into guitar. Posts in Cafe Society more than elsewhere. **Shirley Ujest** : My second favorite person who isn’t me. ---

> [@Jragon](#): > > 1. Which probably isn’t true, I imagine a few people from the WoW guild here recognize me, but meh, I voted 0 and I’m sticking with it. This isn’t true at all. You had a thread awhile ago about whether or not to stay in your…computer animation (?) school and I think you eventually decided to transfer to a regular university. It was memorable because, frankly, you displayed some of the most abject self-hatred and lowest self-esteem I have ever seen. Since then I have seen you say more things about how horrible you think you are in various threads. It makes me sad to see this sort of post. I hope you’re getting some help, man. I picked 100+, not because I think I’m so fucking amazing, but because I’ve been here _forever_ and because I’ve met easily more than 100 Dopers in person. ---
