Fifteen years ago today I posted this: Hello World
Sitting now at 28,458 entries and 1,754 comments - it has been a wonderful fun ride and shows zero sign of slowing down. Before this, I ran a large dial-up computer bulletin board (The Signpost in Seattle - started 1988) for fifteen years so this is definitely in my blood.
I might not have been your FIRST reader, but I was here the first year and have been ever since then.
Congrats, and thanks for hanging in there.
