More weird is thinking about posting something to a thread, only to find the same comment already posted by yourself, two months ago...

I blame wormholes

I was "here" from the beginning, but I remember being suspicious of the upstart board. I don't think I had been on ILM long, and departing from the impersonal and comforting world of music discussions seemed a bit scary.

It also seemed very jokey in a way, suddenly being able to apply search & destroy, classic or dud, etc. threads to things like toothpaste.

So, ILM is the Bakerloo line, and ILE is the Circle line...

I read Mark's post as I Blame Wormholes, so parity restored.

.. and I read it as "I bum wormholes" so whatever...

I lurked for a couple of weeks, then took a deep breath and introduced myself to you all like this :

The ILE bar is now open..............

Blimey, nearly two years ago now!

For the first couple of years I was consistently top ten, I've tailed of a bit over the last year or so, as I'm not good enough and don't have much to say.

I sort of gravitated over here from ILM because I like the variety and find people less pompous, posted about whatever I wanted to as I didn't know anyone anyway, still don't really know barely anyone on the board, and tend to go through heavy periods of use interspersed with complete abstention for weeks or months.

I still have a hard time caring what everyone's wearing today.

It's all about leprechaun hairdos.

Mostly B for me, though Jordan's experience is eerily similar to my own. Lurked during the Greenspun era, gradually delurked on wh3rd.
