I think a lot of people are grossly underestimating the degree to which they’re recognized.
As an aside, this is a poll question that was *dying *to be public. Missed opportunity.

I put “A few : 3-10” Although I could as easily have put “Some 20+” since I think the real answer probably lies in the teens, and this wasn’t on the list.
Yeah, that’s about the same thinking I had. I’ve even met YOU in person.
I don’t have any idea. I don’t even have any idea how I would have any idea. But I posted a related thread over here.
There’s got to be at least 20 that I’ve ‘connected with’ on these boards. Some in less positive ways than others.
Hm, I must admit I don’t remember. It must have been at the NYC Dopefest in 2003, though, right?
By orders of magnitude, I think. I guess there are probably a few posters who have earned the right to say something in the single digits, but for most of you who said 20 or fewer, it’s probably like 500.
I’m pretty sure I recognize every single username (as in am aware that I’ve seen it before) and I have some kind of a mental encyclopedia entry or a general impression for more than 9 out of 10 posters in this thread, even if the impression might be based on a single post or thread. Either way, some serious underestimating going on. I bet I could freak some of you out with dark secrets from a bygone age. The internet is a terrifying place.
I loves ya baby
I went with “a couple”. I know there are some people I’ve had rows with or offended (inadvertently, nearly every time!), so they may remember me. A couple of people friended me, and I tend to wade in when England gets mentioned. Mostly I think I’m pretty dull, though, so I don’t think I’ll have made an impression in the short time I’ve been around.
I remember you said that crotalus was the genus of rattlesnakes. For some reason you thought that was boring. I think it’s awesome. I may have to use it somewhere myself someday.
Lobsang’s a tailless cat?
I’d have to say the same thing about myself. I know some people know me, but not many. I just hang around in the background.
And all this time I thought Malleus Incus Stapes was a magic spell from a Harry Potter book!
50+
I have the hate mail to prove it.
Well, either works, since upon reading your location it now seems I am internationally famous. So thanks for that.
I fall somewhere between whale shit and the stuff that sits under whale shit.
I see I have work to do.
Habs and dragon boats.
I’d say that most of the people here, at least the ones who have been here for years and have 1000+ posts, should really chose the Most 100+ option. Just about everybody knows you! You aren’t giving yourselves enough credit. Many of you are very memorable.
I have been aware, in my tenure, of two other people who live on the IOM and are dopers.
It is entirely possible that I am wrong about this: But I am led to beleive that one is ‘manx’ if one was born here. If that is true I am not manx. I have lived here for about 9 years but I was born in Blackburn, UK (And lived in Accrington straight out of the hospital - “Accrington Stanley - Who’re they?”)
Well, I don’t have a tail as such. But last time I checked I wasn’t a cat (although - from what I can gather - being a cat seems to carry with it a pretty sweet existence. I can haz being a cat?
Aw, man, I was going to tell you you need to vote in bold blue.
