Okay DUers.... Bertha's thread got me thinking - when was your first post? Post a link if ya can!

[ChoralScholar]

Here's mine, I think:

August 4, 2003
It was a thread started by Kleeb about beer smoothies...

1. Love to, but....

Search function will not allow end dates before 2005? And I'm not willing to search through the 1625 posts I made between my join date and the earliest date the next year! :rofl:

[ChoralScholar]

3. if you search once,

on the results screen, you'll be able to change the date back to 2001 on the re-search... Am I making sense?

[LynzM]

7. Got it!

That's weird, I wonder if Elad did that on purpose... *shrug*

Anyway, here's a link to the thread with my first post... about how many posts I had, lol. I'm thinking there must have been some before that, though, based on that comment, but I can't seem to find them. Seems strange that it was more than two weeks from the time I signed up until that post, too... oh well. Who knows!

[Droopy]

2. My first post was in a Bush = Hitler thread in March 2003

I was advising against the comparison when it came to getting people to see things from your point of view. Sorry, too lazy to look up a link.

[Left Is Write]

4. I don't know exactly, but it was in 2004. I don't even remember what I said.

[Inchworm]

5. I remember BNL was the first to reply to me

It was in the lounge not so long ago. I'm thinking beer, drinking, sex, music, or innuendo was the topic :P

:hi:

[ChoralScholar]

6. Oh.. that narrows it down... thanks!

:) hehe

[Inchworm]

10. muahah!

all the aforementioned topics were mentioned.

I guess thats why I flirt with BNL all the time when I see her :P

Apparently i lurked for a long time...! :D

[ChoralScholar]

11. I lurked a while too, I'm pretty sure.

I'm almost positive I logged on to DU the month my mother died - January 2002.

[Pushed To The Left]

12. I think this was the first thread I was on, from Feb. 2004!

15. I've tried endlessly to find mine!

I'd only been here a couple of days, I think...

And it was before I knew how to bookmark a thread...damn...

But my very first post was in a cartoon thread by Nostamj!

He noticed me, and thanked me for making my very first post in his toon thread!

I printed it out, but now I can't find it! :banghead:

I used the printer-friendly format, and it doesn't look anything like the normal page!

If anyone can help me, I'd sure appreciate it!



:hi:

[Capn Sunshine]

16. Ok....how do you find stuff from 2001?

I didn't see that choice in there. It only goes back to 2004. and the links that say click here just bring up the same window.

[ChoralScholar]

26. After you've searched back to 2004,

you should be able to change the dates on back to 2001 for the re-search...

[Reverend_Smitty]

17. Is the advanced search feature acting funny for anybody else tonight?

I tried to find my first post but if I try looking up anything prior to Nov. 04 it doesn't give me any results which is a load of crap because I had well over 1,000 posts by then

[Capn Sunshine]

21. me

I just get in a loop; I click on the before 2004 link but nothing happens
Probably something Elad thought we'd never notice.

[Reverend_Smitty]

22. How Naive of Elad...someone was BOUND to notice sooner or later

:) oh well I'll try it again tomorrow when I'm more awake, because now I really want to know what that post was

[GoddessOfGuinness]

18. I can't remember...It was in the old DU

I do remember an early post that got me accused of being a freeper, though. :rofl: I don't remember what it was about, however.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. I FOUND IT!

And apparently I've found it before...When I tried to bookmark it, it already was!

23. Nostamj

I wonder what ever happened to him...........

[struggle4progress]

25. nostamj passed on

[auntAgonist]

20. I have no idea, but Bertha was probably the first

one I ever talked to on DU. So long ago.

[struggle4progress]

24. Perhaps this reply to a Kephra post on the southern treason flag

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=2706419#2706726

Seems odd that it didn't get any replies, especially since I was a n00b. You'd think GD woulda beaten the crap outa me. :shrug:

[fizzgig]

28. apparently it was in gd:p

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=132&topic_id=1192592#1204033

i don't think i've set foot in there since

[puerco-bellies]

29. My first post was in 2001 under the screen name denbot

We were talking about the possible easement of electronic records via magnets, and I posted that it was my understanding that doing so could damage a microcircuit in a discernible way, I am pretty sure that my first post was incorrect. Fitting really.

[MissHoneychurch]

30. I changed names in between

My really first post (under the name ffm172) - it was about cats ...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=2473459&mesg_id=2473597

31. I'm having difficulty looking for any post before 2003...

I know I had some posts between 2001 and 2003, but I can't find them, the earliest post I could find was in this thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=102&topic_id=34284

1. You should really read Kerry's book, it may open your eyes (and heart)

He is a good man and a very smart man. After reading his book I emailed him urging him to run back in august of 2002. You can pick it up cheap on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0684846144/qid=1...

...Actually, I know that's not my first one, but I seem to be stopped at 2003, despite posting well before that. :shrug:

But, if I have to have an official first post, this ain't bad. :)

[Anarcho-Socialist]

34. I think this is my first

From the date I joined. It was a GDP discussion whether John Kerry could be as successful a President as FDR. This was April 2004.
