Dang I feel old in /. terms
Love may laugh at locksmiths, but he has a profound respect for money bags. -- Sidney Paternoster, "The Folly of the Wise"

You've had that account for quite a while by the standards of any web site I visit regularly. There is always churn and I'm sure being away for a bit makes it really noticeable. Sort of like facial hair and sleep.
Me, I've got a uid that's over 200k higher than yours and I've been here for at least 8 years. But I think it's closer to 9 or 10. Just not sure but my first JE was 8 years ago.

I was trying to figure out how long I've had this account, and my best guess is probably 1997 due to college. Yikes.
And I see UIDs in the 1.7m wow.

It would be cool if the date the account was created was a part of the profile. I wonder if that's part of the record.
I probably started towards the end of '99 and that would have been my account I lost. Not sure when I created this one, but not too long after I don't think.

Probably toward the end of that range, as I think I started posting here in '98 (was just lurking for a little while beforehand).
I'm a bit of a higher 6 (Score:3, Interesting)
And I think I registered this account during my big 2001-2003 unemployment period, as a way of keeping up on technology.

That sounds about right. I think I started in late '98.

I resent that remark :-)
Just joking. Welcome back. And you're only as old as you feel.
After all, look how long Anonymous Coward has been posting.
All joking aside, the overall population is aging, so your relative age isn't as big a diff as it was when you were a kid. To counter that, there's so much MORE knowledge to get a handle on that the newer generation takes longer to "catch up".
And of course, when they're listening to music and you start humming along with it, and they say "You know THIS song?" and you say "Knoew it? I GREW UP with it!" ... and they refuse to believe it ...
Depending on your mindset, that can make you feel either really old, or like almost no time has passed.

heh, I've never been in the crowd of people who know songs played now days... unless you are talking about Bach or Mozart. :-/

Just for grins, did you know what Anonymous Coward’s UID is?
