Recent news about Eric Rudolph had me looking through old posts, and I noticed that in the first few months I was here, I often used terribly non-descriptive thread titles. Shameful.

It still surprises me that I can remember when **No Clue Boy** had hundreds less posts than I, and now he has thousands more.

And in less time.

And my own posts back then, I haven’t a clue what they were about, which hardly matters because most of you probably don’t recognise me anyway.

[sub]and the only reason I don’t take part in the ENT threads, is because I don’t have a TV here, so I have to catch up when I go home.[/sub]

I recently found out how to search usenet, and I did a vanity search.

Turns out, back in the day ('95, '96) I was posting under my real name, and I was a ranting and raving ass. I was quite mortified at the posts I found, and I hope none of my family ever finds this stuff.

Ugh.

Happy
