So here's the question. Assume that Matthew is say 14 and he is (...) (26 years ago, 22-Oct-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: My Stance
 
(...) D'oh. I don't know where I got the impression that he was fairly new (to posting, at least, because there's no way to tell how long someone's been lurking).
