According to "My LQ" I registered 12 years ago(! yes, 23rd Aug 2003), yet this is my first post.
I'm here now to break the ice, and to say hello to everybody!

Welcome to LQ! But no rush on our part...

Wow. Long wait to post.

I'm celebrated my 12 years about 6 months ago here on the site myself.

I hope the 11 years, 11 months, and 19 days wasn't 'foreplay'.

Hello and Welcome

It's amazing anyone could remember their username and/or password for that long, unless it's something you've continually used all these years!

Regards...

Lol, this is interesting. How did you even remember the site without using it, let alone your id/password?

Regards.

Well, welcome to "active posting" lekozs!

After a while you pay attention to the user's signup date and post count when they ask a question. Or at least I do, because it sometimes helps me to understand the experience and perspective the person may be approaching their question from.

Earlier this year, I noticed one or two situations very similar to your's.

Two different users who were on LQ for many years one of them 7 years and the other one nearly 10 or more.

One user just posted their introduction as you've done and summarized their Linux background a bit. It's like "you waited xx years to post your hello?", but they acknowledged, as you've done that they were on the forums, just always as a lurker.

The other person actually posted something moderately off. They were looking for how to subscribe to the zero reply search results. A few of us didn't think that such a subscription exists, however it does and someone eventually pointed that out. But wow, they wait 7 years to complain, or some change happened to their account so that excited their question. Problem was their question was very "off" grammatically and so were the 2-3 follow-ups.
