Better move in towards the trunk before that limb you stepped out on breaks. It’s mighty thin. 😉 ---

No, faithfool is still faithfool. And I know most all of you too. Who knows how many knows me? Obviously, **Really Not All That Bright** at least has some name recognition going on. 😛 Beyond that, I have several friends so I picked 20 plus. ---

I remember **Crotalus** ’ wife from a picture he posted, and I grew up (to some extent) in Milawukee, so I remember **MeanOldLady**. I am relatively certain a lot of Dopers recognize my name. Whether that translates to popularity is another question. Regards, Shodan ---

I went with “A Few”. Mainly old timers who remember me based on c. 2000 DopeFests and the old IRC channel. ---

I chose 20+, but I’m now thinking I may be underestimating simply because I didn’t really take into account the fact that I’ve been here for a long time. I’m not a particularly prolific poster, but I used to hang out in chat years ago, and have met a few Dopers over the years. If the standard is simply “recognize the name”, then I think I’m more “popular” than what I chose, but if the standard includes “knows something about the poster” then I might have chosen the right thing. ---

I can say 3-10. That’s only because I know two Dopers IRL, and have had off-the-boards correspondence with two or three. Otherwise, I’m utterly unremarkable. ---
