I was thinking it must be about the fifth anniversary of my joining the board, and was trying to find my first post. One of the possibilities in Display Preferences is to show posts in ascending date order, so I went back to the beginning.

I plumb forgot that, at the bottom of one's personal data page, there is a little line which tells one when one "registered" with this zany crew of verboterrorists. Prompted to look, I note that I will celebrate by fifth anniversary with you all on 6 September 2005. No need to send presents; a simple remembrance will suffice.

okay; but I assume that all indulgences will be strictly unofficial.

Well, of course no one noticed ... because April third was Low Sunday and everyone was busy not going to church that day.

I will nonetheless think up an appropriate penance for my failure to salute tsuwm on his special day and impose it upon myself.

arghhhhh, mea culpa on both counts - not only did I omit to remember tsuwm on that fine day but I was also dilatory in being busy not going to church. For the former I can make no restitution save a craven apology, but the latter I will seek to ammend by a double dose this Sunday.
