geez, I'm looking at my SI account, created April 17, 1998. I'm thinking that can't possibly be true, it must have been before that. Apparently it is true, the first thread I created was on 6/6/1998. Seems I didn't waste time creating threads and GA BARD was the first poster! geez, 6/6/1998 to 01/01/2000 seemed like 10 years....
