Sure. The 827 is my birthday.

Years ago in a galaxy far far away...

I was on a Springsteen board that didn't have registration at first. I didn't use any ingenuity and just posted as "Alan". Somehow I managed to attract some troll who started posting stupid comments using my name. So I'd post "^not Alan" underneath. And when they finally did get registered names I did as "Alan ^not Alan".

I then went on another forum where someone pointed out that "^" was Internet slang to "bump" a thread so it would come to the top of that forum. Somehow it developed to bump827 which stuck. And is my email addy @ yahoo.

Whew!

Thanks Robin - I'm not sure everyone agrees. Not that I really do things just to win friends or influence enemies. But I stand my ground.

Thanks. Funny related story. When Animal House opened in NYC the newspapers were on strike as I remember. No online, no iPhones, etc. so movies stayed at the same movie houses for weeks. We went to see Animal House probably four weeks in a row!

Re: 1,000th Post

From what I recall, don't these 1000th post threads generally belong in the Off Topics section because they are solely about an individual forum member and not Joe? I always thought the front page was reserved for Joe specific topics.

Works for me - do I need a moderator to move?
