Lady Scott Posted Feb 25, 2003
Are you afraid you'll be found out to be researcher 200000?
Is that why you're running??!?

I am *not* Researcher 200000,
Lady Scott. It's bad enough that
I have to help the 
and the 
with their posts. Why would
I want a nice round researcher number?
On second thought, forget I said that,
because I could never prove it anyway.

I do, too.
Maybe if we both insist on it,
he/she will 'fess up.

Lady Scott Posted Feb 25, 2003
Everyone I've asked has denied it.
Some have suggested that Mark Moxon gave himself a little going away gift of the milestone U#.
I dunno. It was awfully late at night in the UK when the number came up...

Are you thinking it was someone on the left coast
of the U.S., or Australia/New Zealand?
Who is Researcher 200000?
Lady Scott Posted Feb 25, 2003
Either that or someone in the UK who stays up all night...

Who would be 
enough to do that?
No, wait, the Brits have a royal family,
plus eccentric peers, plus about a third of the
population belongs to a rock band. The list
is getting rather long, actually. 
(Just kidding! 
)

I can think of a couple who tend to stay up all night long...
2legs
Happy Dude
I'm sure there's more.
So it was late here, which means it could have been someone in the US, too. Or someone on the other side of world, where it would have been daytime...
Doesn't narrow it down too much, does it?
What we really need is a list of researchers who were online at the time...

You can tell the number of everyone who's posted by waving your pointer over them and looking at the status bar.
However you don't have to post to subscribe.
