The recent thread made me wonder.

How many babies are out there as a result of people meeting on the board?

Mathematically, shouldn’t that be **Doper + Doper**?

While there are several couples that met via this board, and several Dopers have had babies during their time on this board, AFAICT **Baby Doors** is the first new arrival whose parents met through this board.

The above refers specifically to this incarnation of the board.

**Baby Doors** will not be the last. In time, I may see a name change to **DaddyBill**.
