I was here at "the beginning" thanks to the fact that I personally know the Nightstalker (who was the driving force behind the group's creation) in Real Life. However, our newsfeed down here in Australia didn't merge with the rest of the world for about two weeks thereafter. I do believe that I was the very first person in the southern hemisphere to post to a.p.d-i, though. However... I'm no longer here...
