I followed the link, thanks.  It was interesting in that I was pretty
sure I was posting well before even that date.  It could be a trick of
my memory and I might have been simply lurking for longer than I
thought.  Nevertheless, there do seem to be anomalies - I am almost
sure, for instance, that my first recorded dog poem was actually my
third - still, I assume google cannot lie.
