Assuming the MessageID numbers are contiguous, it might very well be the oldest post still around, but probably not the first. I wonder what happened to the 54,537 posts that preceded it?
Sorry, but I just couldn't let an opportunity go by. I replied on that thread, perhaps making the 14-year-gap the longest on these boards, or at least until someone finds an older thread.
What's odd about those posts if you click on the names they all joined after the posts! The posts start at 2/27/1999 and the Join date is 2/2/2001 so they actually posted two years before they joined!?!? Can you say, "Back to the Future"? ;-)
