Thanks, Ruthy, that's very kind of you to remember.
I'm to the age where I wouldn't mind forgetting, though;-)
I know I've been on this thread for more than 2 years now, but I forget exactly how much longer...right after the first movie, I guess!
We've all formed a very nice friendship.
Ecurb and Hair were in the first 10 posts of the NZ Hobbit Hole, along with a couple of others (Samwise and BibChr, to name two regulars).
I came into the thread at post 12, Jan. 28th, 2002. That would be 2 and a half years, right? Exactly?

I can't recall when I first appeared in Hobbit Land, but I'm certain that I'm working on around 2 years also.
The friends I've made in the Hole are truer and finer than many I have in RL!
A very fine friendship indeed, since we all ended up on a thread
about a goofy guy in New Zealand! Here's to another great year!
