My first post was December 18th, 1999, and it appeared in the middle of a Masonic thread, answering someone’s question about whether the Knights of Columbus had a young men’s organization similar to the Order of Demolay that the Masons had.

I answered it, then lurked for a couple of weeks before starting my official illustrious career on January 1st, 2000.

## If so, I think that makes three of us…

Heck is where you go when you don’t believe in Gosh.

I remember my first post was on AOL, in a thread about seagulls eating antacids and exploding. I forgot what I said, but I misspelled a word and was made fun of for the next ten posts in that thread. I avoided SDMB until they returned on the net.

Most influencial movies, as started by BurnMeUp. This was on 9-9-99 - although I registered on July 28. Took me more than a month to gather all my strength for a real post! But then, I was on a roll. Not one half hour later, I posted my first THREAD:  
[http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/001107.html](http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum4/HTML/001107.html)

“Alien Poster to this MB”.

How’s that for gaining self esteem quickly?

The rest is history, unless someone wishes to revise it.
