My original persona - Monique <./>U39772</.> was registered on the 20th of May 1999!
This one was July 13th 1999 ;-(
Peet I think you'll find was actually registered on the 12th of May 1999
And anyone who has a U number less than 43032 is a valid member, since sun spider who has that number was the last to register on the 28th!

Thanks for pointing that out again, Mel; I've mentioned it two or three times already...

Welcome to the group. I'll add you to the list at some point. I am planning to write a little script to take the newusers list of people eligible, and check all their PSs and put anyone that has a last posted of a year ago or sooner in the list, so i may not add you manually, and you will have to wait a little.

That may require me finding the password for my old account and posting something from it then!

...though you'd need to put the original account's nickname in the table...

I think i'd have to put both... make a complete mess of the table. Maybe i should have a 2nd table underneath for people who are considerate enough to use the same account they signed up with...

Now now chaps, it wasn't my fault, though there was less than 2 months between the 2 accounts which says something about my password rememebring skills at the time. I'm just naughty and have a book now!

I'm forced to say that forgetting your password *is* your fault. I won't hold it against you though.

Ah but it's not my fault that I happened to forget it after the 1 month cut off date It could have happened at any time!
