Hi B
if you or anybody interested go to my easier to remember notsolong forwarding link at
http://www.wayback.notlong.com
and enter corfid.com then select the March 19th 2003 archived set
then go to the original general discussion forum shown under its previous name of Gordon Lightfoot you can see the archived list of topics at that date as a listing of the most recent threads showing the usual date of the most recent posting
and note that the bottom seven are shown as
If you click that bottom one (on the actual web page not the screenshot above of course) it will open
http://web.archive.org/web/200304211...ML/001401.html
which shows an initial posting on 5 March 2003 of a thread subject
"Hi I'm New!"
in which new member "Canary Yellow Canoe" said
"love it! A Gordon Lightfoot website! COOOL"
on the very next day you realised that your memory had failed you and thanked Brink after giving your name as
yranaC wolleY eonaC
unregistered
anyway well done on getting to 4182 messages in just ten years (over one a day if my maths are correct) (in the UK we insist that a short form of the subject word mathematics (noting that it's plural) must be "maths" not the truncated Americanism "Math"!!)
The members list now shows that the aforementioned Canary Yellow Canoe
joined on March 5th 2003 not quite 10 years ago this week and made 7 postings but as of today:-
"Canary Yellow Canoe has not made any friends yet"!!
That may well be the case but luckily his alter ego aka Borderstone has made many here since
that momentuous day so long ago now
See B you might think that you had deleted some of your earliest posts but the internet archive had unbeknownst to you already saved the evidence!!
