Alrighty, my first post was on the All About You thread. I wrote it June 9, 2002, three days after I joined:

Comments:I live in the state of Idaho with my 17 year old sister and my parents. I first became interested in LOTR when the movie came out and read the book and the Hobbit in 10 days. I recently discovered this awesome site and come here almost every day. I hope to get to know more fans of Tolkien on this forum.

Ithaeliel-
We seem a lot alike, don't you think? I guess that's why we're friends!

Oh boy, how have I changed since then... Btw, for anyone who doesn't know, Ithaeliel was the one who recommended me to the BD, which is why I mentioned her.
My first post was followed by this:

Apparently, the newbie me did not yet know how to edit posts.
I also made two more posts that day elsewhere:
What's A Vanyar?
Left-handed
Pretty simple and boring. If I made more posts that first day, I can't find them.
I never made an actual introductory post, and it appears that is because the introductory thread didn't even come into existence until six months after I joined.
I feel so old (BD-wise, that is). I guess that's what happens when you've been decaying for almost five years...
