"is there a way to find your first post?"

There is for staff! Abi and I used to post people's first message on their h2g2 birthdays!

Your posting list might show you your very first, or it might not be accurate.

The posting llist, at least when I did it a bit ago in alabaster, wouldn't let me go back far enough... I went back about ten thousand threads, and that took me to about 2005...

Of course, finding the oldest thread in your MP list, won't necessarily be your first/oldest/initial post; if y ou made a post earlier, to a conversation which has then be posted to more recently, it'll appear more recently in the posting list... err... if that makes sense

It soesn't. This is Hootoo!

2Legs said what I couldn't be arsed to type. It also won't show up if you unsubbed from that conversation.

>> a conversation which has then be posted to more recently, it'll appear more recently in the posting list... err... if that makes sense <<


Oh it does, it does!

That explains why every time I work my way back to
what I think is my first post, it's a different one!

Because they keep getting bumped up!

Learn something new every decade around here!
Thanks 2legs.

I had a wonderful greeting to hootoo http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F1712451?thread=363048&post=109480148#p109480148 Now the Techs tell me to go make a cup of tea when they want to fix something

You're keeping them all in a job, Lil - never let them forget...

Oh, yeah!

The one post I can find is my response to my ACE message back on 29th August 2002, though I'm sure I posted something in Ask about the origin of teatowels, though that may have been the next week.

My first post on the dna system was a journal entry I posted after signing up to Talk Buffy.

I think my first post on here proper was responding to a post egon wrote about Sex and the City. Without him I might never have discovered this place (so if I've annoyed you, it's all his fault)

My first post on the dna system was the first post at all on the (live) dna system!

My first post on ripley might have been F37993?thread=72968&post=553018#p553018

"i want 2 cancel this account what 2 do"

I was ACE'd in 2002 by Candi, who seems to have around 2004. My first convo was with philoxi about the similarity of Canadian and Dutch television (in that home grown programs were few and far between).

I see he hasn*t posted since 2009 and I remember he had diabetes.


Does anyone know anything about him?

I'm so sorry, zoomer, Pheloxi died 2 years ago.

He had a heart attack and was found by his brother.

Candi or Pheloxi?

Pheloxi died on 19 April last year.

Thank you, Ottox. I was just looking for that link

Thank you.

I was enjoying some of his conversations. Sad now.

I'm really sorry, love


We also lost TB Falsename a few months later, then we lost Terri of zendevilterri fame last September. We have had a few shakey moments lately

I think I've been lurking too much over the last couple of years and not checking up on what was what.

Thank you, once again.
