    Update I have added the above, but I've seen two others. I'm not trying to cause problems, but trying to help PM. It seems strange that someone could be here for 12 years and be an 'Initiate', but I may be wrong!

    It could happen.

      It could happen

      It *has* happened !
      According to his home node, mpersico joined PM on 20th May 2000, provided (at some stage) a brief bio, and then waited until today to make his first post.

      Seems unlikely to me ... especially given that I'm sure I've seen that username on previous occasions. (But I could be wrong, too.)

      UPDATE: Maybe it's just that I've seen his name on some other forum ...

      Cheers,
