I tried typing in the number 1 userid and it gave me a blank.
The next number over was lynn bodoni.
Who was number one?

Current ATMB thread: [Member Number](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=163763)
It seems there isn’t a mumber one. Perhaps the number is disallowed, like Channel One on TV.

This isn’t what I expected when I read the thread title… I was thinking it was going to be another person trying to start an SDMB popularity contest. 😃

The Number One poster is easily distinguished by the presence of a large foam “I’m No. 1” hand.

No, that totals to six, which of course is more evidence in the ongoing conspiracy theories – not only **Cecil** but also **Dex** are actually socks of **Ed Zotti** (poster #6).

I was the first person to register.
I was also the first person to have a corrupted user file.
We could not repair the corruption in the database, so I had to re-register. So I’m further down the list.

Being first is not always best.

Ah. That immediately prompts a question. Who was the _second_ person to have a corrupted user file? Who used to be member number 30?

Jeez, I don’t remember. They should, we had email back and forth over it. (That was two hard drives ago for me, sorry to say, so I don’t have that info available.)

No! I’M #1! At least, that’s what my self-esteem counsellor tells me…

Are you sure she doesn’t tell you that you’re number _two_, **Mr Diddly**? 😃
