Uh . . .

Well, let's see.  "Continuous" would be you, uh, never unsubbed from 
the list.  And, uh, "reasonably active" means that, erm, you post.  
Sometimes.

OK, I have no idea.  I think the problem here is that we need a 
*true* olbie -- someone like Joywitch or Amanda or Amy Z -- to 
explain what makes a regular old member morph into a proper "oldbie."

You?  Abigail, you're *active!*  No doubt about that!

Heh.  It's funny how it seems that others have been around a lot 
longer than you, even when they haven't.  For instance, it feels to 
me like David and Amy Z have been around since the flood, but I 
think they only have a few months on me.  

Hey, maybe I *am* an olbie after all!  I'm sitting around 
reminiscing about the good old days and forgetting when things 
happened just a short time ago!  ;-)

Oh, me too!  After all, the only thing we know for sure is that Big 
Bang will survive the hurricane!  :-D
