I know I probably don't count, but I've been on Pet Talk since Day One! :D (June 24, 2000) And of course, though Paul and I joined within minutes of each other, I far out-post him - I've got over 14,000 posts, and he hasn't even hit 600 yet! It's okay, he's still a pillar because without him, this place wouldn't exist! I do talk more in person than he does, too.
