3. Spring of 2002

GinaMaria ( I believe) had posted a thread about the St. Patricks' day protest in Chicago and it was distributed throughout many anti-Boo$h sites. I lurked for a month or so before joining.

12. Membership was between 16 and 17 thousand

when I joined in mid-2002

[SmileyBoy]

15. March 2002 over here.

At least I think it was March. I know it was 2002, and it was spring. Membership was less than 10,000.

[VOX]

17. Right on the cusp on 2002-2003 -- not exactly sure...it was a tough time..

My mom was in the hospital, and she finally died in early Feb. 2003. But somewhere before all that I started posting, after lurking for *way* too long.

:hi:

[mike_c]

18. sometime in 2002 I think, but I don't remember when....

Before summer I think-- I'd been here for a while before the November elections.

[SarahB]

20. Joined originally November 2002

As Populistmom. I just changed it a couple of weeks ago for assorted deranged reasons. :)

[DinahMoeHum]

21. Early March 2002. I had been lurking for a few weeks prior

to that.

What finally convinced me to donate and join up was a thread mocking AG John "Asswipe" and his "song" "Let The Mighty Eagle Soar". I printed the transcript.

I almost died laughing reading the thread; and then I decided I wasn't about to miss out on all the fun anymore.

:kick:

[JohnKleeb]

23. yeah 9/11/02

started up though as JHKleeb early that winter though.

[Lars39]

25. I started lurking sometime in the fall of 2002.

Actually joined when the forums were only open to members because of Wellstone's death. :(

Been here ever since. :hi:

[Donkeyboy75]

26. Yo!

I have very few posts, but I was a lurker until a couple of months ago (and I'm sure people liked it that way)

:)

[Scottie72]

27. Sometime in Feb 2002 I believe

I think i joined around that time, after I lurked for a few weeks.
