I've been here since 1998. I'm not new. Just awake.
I was fully capable of checking your bio for stats (and noticed that you are a veteran ***bowing down***), but was referring to your newness as a poster on this thread, which has been running for as long as this honorable man has been in office.
But as for awake, that is in your eyes only. Keep it to yourself. Your great wisdom and enlightenment are not welcome here.
