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.

Unlikely. Even featherlou doesn’t think she’s featherlou.

I’d be surprised if anybody knew me.

I think at least 10 or more people know who I am or recognize my name.

I’m an unknown and I’m totally OK with that.

Well then…be surprised!

Huh. What do you associate with me?

Your name. You’re that dude…that said that thing…in that thread about…well…stuff!

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.

I know you. Not personally, I mean, but I’ve read your posts from time to time over the years. Baa baa.

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.

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.

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.

Awww… here’s a hug for you.
:hug:

And yeah. I know you.

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.
