Following rapunzel's lead, i dug this one up b/c it was the first day that both Fiberbabe and i joined the board. rereading this made me smile for a couple of reasons:

(1) i clearly was one of those folks who got so excited when i joined the board that i felt the need to spout off whatever stupid thing popped into my mind at every chance possible and i'll thank you all not to point out that not much has changed

(2) i just thought the AsP would enjoy reminiscing about the good ol' days when the most annoying thing on the board was my stupid signature line

~~~~~~

oh, and this is wholly unrelated to the above discussion, but i just wanted to announce that i have created a thread in Animal Safari for non-word-related-discussion of urology gone awry, cophrophilia, clysterous chitchat and the like, for the oblectation and convenience of those of you who enjoy such delights.

now, does anyone know anything about the word 'antistoecon'?
