January 1st, 2006 I joined this site. I've met a lot of great people here. I've seen some wonderful acts of kindness and learned far more than I once thought I knew about boolit casting. I don't log in every time I visit, which is pretty much on a daily basis. Gotta keep track of my people. Keep up the good work people!

I'd like to echo that there is a neat community here. I am thankful for those who make the time to share their knowledge which is to the advantage of many.

Congrats on your 15 years here. I am a junior to you. I think mine was ‘07? I was less active here in the beginning as I was spending more time at some other forums then.
This one is populated with a better selection of well tempered members than most forums though and the topics are far ranging that it’s much more than just boolit casting.

Happy New Year and Happy Anniversary Murphy!
Congratulations on the Anniversary! I always enjoy your post.
Congrats Murphy, and I'd like to thank you all for sharing knowledge that it may take months to research. This is an AWESOME community.
Marc,
Chatting with you back in the day was good very therapy for me. Glad to read your words of wisdom and sanity in this world of fools and braggarts.

The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

I am curious.....do we have a member number assigned to us as well as our handle?
I looked and can't seem to find it.

Donald,
You are #619
On my home computer, I can set the mouse above your screen name, and at the bottom of my screen, I get a popup that shows your user profile page. That page ID corresponds to your member number. You can also go directly to your profile using the drop down menu at the upper right of any page, and the address you see in the navigation bar at the top of your browser has that info also.

I'm number 1634
Hope this helps!

And Murphy - Happy Anniversary!!

obssd1958 beat me to the answer.
Waksupi, of course you're #7. No one really knew you back then and they'd let anyone in. You're a slick one my friend, good company I'd ride the river with anytime, anywhere.
Thanks for all the replies and compliments fella's!

I guess we learn something new every day.
Well, I guess that, and $2, gets me a cup of coffee!
Here in NH one of the "status symbols" is a low license plate number. They are handed down from generation to generation.
Does that work here?
Doesn't a low member number get some sort of privileges?
