And somehow have managed to avoid total self-destruction...or getting banned. 
And you know what?
When I was a newbie, the very first thing I did was start posting one-line questions without bothering to read the guidelines or anything.
But back then, they were more-or-less accepted.
So it took me a few days to get around to reading them, and it took a few months before I actually went through the FAQ's and TOS and everything else.
So thinking, I guess I really need to shut up about people joining and posting before they read stuff.
At least it didn't take me 11 years. 
But thanks to the myLot Team for running the site...and thanks to many of you for tolerating me this long...and thanks to the Interwebs for hosting it...and thanks to coughee.

I leaped right into getting into arguments with people.
Heavy sarcasm probably wasn't the best way to introduce myself to people.

@fishtiger58 It's encouraging knowing myLot has been here that long. How long have you been on and what is the most you made in a month?

@JolietJake Oh yes, I almost forgot Sharon.
But I say you're the youngest veteran cause JJ account is new(er) than The Lamb.

Aw ..there is a lot of support we received from you...wittingly and unwittingly. If lamby could do that, surely I can manage this, kind of strength. And your humor kept me happy many times. The moments that I could have wasted thinking of sad things. Ok..that is enough of compliments ..you are a great bro to have..love...hugs..tc

@marguicha Took me a few days to convince myself when I first saw this latest account of his. He had a soda can as avatar or something... I had a feeling it was Lamb but to be honest I had to consult with mysD if my feelings were correct or not.
