Wow. I've been hanging out here for 15 years.

Today I learned that I joined HN before jgrahamc. I think I will substitute my Slashdot 5-digit UID for my HN join date as my favorite nerd-humblebrag.

Me and my 6-digit /. UID bow down before you. Now, how many digits in your CompuServe ID?

I’ve been coming here from the beginning. Off and on. Different handles because I rarely saved my passwords. I absolutely appreciate all the gem comments especially from insiders. This is the only place that reminds me of 90s newsgroups.

I want to especially thank Dang for keeping this place consistent.

I can't win them all. You got me there, but only because I never joined it in the first place?

Now I am trying to remember if there was anything special about BBS's that could be used to identify old-timers.

Ha! lots of interesting headlines: >YouTube: "identifying copyrighted material can't be an automated process." Startup disagrees.

Wish they would have said that DMCA claims can’t be an automated process. Not that that is really on YouTube alone though.

I have no doubt that the first page of HN made me the professional I am now and the comments helped me to forge strong opinions. It has been a while since I started using the HN search engine to know better about technical topics.

Not sure who to but thank you.
