A friend of mine was reading some of the posts here over my shoulder and questioned why Mr. Card was only the 209th member- of his own site. Unable to answer it, I turn to you.

Nobody knows. *says it in a mysterious way, and moves his fingers around just as mysteriously*
Theory 1: 208 people joined really really fast.
Theory 2: He made an account and forgot his password.
Theory 3: 209 is his favorite number.
Theory 4: He forgot to make an account for a while.
Theory 5: He didn't know about his offical website until later.
Theory 6: (One most likely) As soon as the website was coming up, he was called on offical duty to thwart an uprise of evil light fixtures and did not have time to create an account till later.
I need to stop procrastinating and do my homework...

Moose, you're a wonderful fellow, have a great family, had the cool-factor of having a character based on you in an OSC novel, and have since become the moderator of Hatrack River...
...and this will forever be your legacy at the 'Rack.

The answer is this: the first few hundred members were imported over from an earlier incarnation of the site, in roughly alphabetical order (in batches, which messes up the order a bit.)

Mr. Meg was right with guess number 2. In fact, my inability to remember my password caused me to have about six memberships at one time. This is the one I remembered most often.

My way of getting around forgotten passwords is to reuse the same 5-7 passwords, depending on the security requirement of the password. (My longest one is 15 characters long. )

Regarding passwords: I have a reverse problem... I forget to logoff, so every time I come back, I'm always already logged in. I never had to remember my password.
Is doing it this way bad?

Then I guess I've known all along, deep within me that Mr. Card is a fairly normal human. (I was really hoping for theory six, even if I didn't know what I was talking about. I'm starting to realize that happens alot to me now...)
While we're on the subject of passwords... I just use the same one repeatly, so If someone figures my normal password out then I will be quite screwed, that is, if they'd actually cared; which they won't, so I'm safe. Huzzah!
edit If I told you here why I had to edit the message I'd have to edit this message so it didn't say why I had to edit the message
