My first post seems to be this.

Amazingly it appears to have been the 28th thread of all time off AOL(neglecting concurrent ones in other forums). I was unaware of the AOL situation at the time, and thought the board had been more established than that. Odd.
Anyways, its a responce to Cecil’s column of toilet plumes.
Fun Facts:
Cecil himself commented not once, but twice.
14 people made their only post there.
7 made one of their 2 posts there.
CkDextHaven and JillGat also made early showings.
Squid Viscious, Dr. Jackson, sunbear, Big Iron, DrFidelius, Chef Troy, Nanobyte, and priccar are fairly current regs who made appearances.
I fucked up the HTML in that first post (how embarassing), and I dove in head first with an arrogant rant. Ah well, what can you do? I still think I had a valid point :). No one jumped on me, or yelled at me so blame them for my year long infection of your MB ;).
My One Year anniversary is in less that a week 4-21-99 10:42 PM.
A side note, my first original post, 2 days and maybe a few dozen posts later, also in Comments on Cecils Columns was here:

Entitled “AIDS in the bubble”, was interesting that it recieved a lengthy responce from Cecil, and I am maintaining the impression that I was right and he admitted it, even if he blamed Ed ;).
I started out getting spoiled by Cece’s input.
