Jim Potts, do I still have the lowest number besides you?
To see the members who joined up early on, click on "User List" at the top of this page. Then click on "
Joined" on the top right corner. That will then display a list of members in order of when they joined, except for a few dozen, including me, who had their accounts garbled in a server crash in 2004. Their member number jumped to over 2000 and their chronological join-up order does not appear in the "Joined" list in the order when they actually joined. I was relieved then just to get the previously posted messages restored in the forum database.
There was a similar poll taken back in 2011. The poll was open for one week and results are shown in an image below.
