I was so ambitious back then, posting a question in [Great Debates](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=59337)… …nowadays I’m posting about being harassed on the subway by weirdos :smack: I posted a couple times on the SDMB in February 2001, and then posted there more regularly starting in January 2002, the posts from that time having been eaten when the message boards fizzled. I went by **FNRFR** until about a month ago, when I switched over to **Banger**. ---

[My first post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=104496) was **closed** after just three replies! (one of those replies being from me). Not a good sign. Strange (the timing mainly) that this question is asked when I post an [anti-spam post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=147869) again. So if I drop dead right now - my first and [almost] last post would have been about the same subject! ---
