Re^3: Side effect of re-using node_id? by syphilis (Archbishop) on Aug 30, 2012 at 03:36 UTC
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, Rob	[reply]

I think some monks (perhaps vroom or NodeReaper) have been recruiting for years a silent army of sockpuppets ready to spring when the cry to battle comes. 0 writeups, registered years ago, last seen < 1 month are the most interesting.	[reply]

Some people are shy. Or maybe they found all they needed by searching or via Chatterbox discussion. Update: This old node may be of interest: On Two Years of Silence.... Jenda Enoch was right! Enjoy the last years of Rome.	[reply]
