ah, those were the days,

THANKS Rete,

I can't seem to get to mine, either. It takes me *almost* all the way back, but I know for sure that oldest post it shows is not my very first post. Hmmmm.

Rene

Uncontroversial as usual!

What I want to know is what one word was Fatbrits first post

I don't think that's my first post. My first post was an introduction of sorts.

Rene

You might be thinking that you first posted that on BE but it might have been posted on the USENET and picked up by BE and thus would not show as your first post on BE.

A love poll.

Ohhh, that explains it. Thanks Rete.

Gawd knows -- go find it. My therapist told me not to read my old posts.

No need Day77 has no doubt already researched it

Same thread as the OP. Must have been one of those good de-lurking threads.

I'm still in that same town, though I rarely mention it by name on the intarwebs these days.

It was interesting looking at some of you folks bios.

I got all excited and thought I'd PM a poster on there about a town in Lincs (family tree research), but he stopped posting after 2004.

Yeah, before we moved I was chuffed to find a poster in the next small town to ours, but they disappeared too.

Let's hope I managed the minimum thousand words, then.
