My first post after I got married: From the thread “[Led Zeppelin - reforming and touring - for real, this time](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=8716976#post8716976)” (Came 10 days after my wedding)

He just can’t hit those notes like he used to. I remember when Page and Plant went on tour in the 90s, I left those shows a bit unhappy with Plant’s performance. And with him being 10+ years older now, I can’t see him being any closer to his peak vocals today.

Pick a momentous moment, vanity search yourself (with results being displayed as posts to make it easier to find) and let’s see it.

I assume you’re asking for first posts after momentous events in your (the poster’s) own life, not first posts after momentous events in the world like the first moon landing.

If so, I would think the first post after a momentous event would be _about that event_ and sooner than 10 days after!

Since late May, I’ve been posting descriptions of several events in my life that seem momentous to me, over in the General Aviation thread, generally the day afterward or even the same day.

My first post after my mom died was a new [thread about her death](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=774611).

My first non-mom post after she died was expressing [sympathy in **joyfool** ’s thread on the loss of her husband](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=18842265#post18842265).

My first non-death-related post after Mom died was in [a _West Wing_ thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=18848101#post18848101).
