Jimi Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Something's been bothering me. I noticed about a week ago that HRFF BARE is identified as the #4 person to sign up on these hallowed boards. And that Doc is #22. (Edit: Doc is identified as Member #21) This sort of confuses me, while begging the question, "Who are numbers 1, 2 & 3?" I think I've also seen vague reference in posts through the months to a time when some here posted together somewhere else. Can anyone out there offer a basic historical primer for the site. And explain above all else how BARE signed up before Doc? Mucho grass & ass, Jimi
Guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 Bare may or may not have signed up before Doc, it just so happens that his is the 4th account created by the board software, and the account Doc is currently using was the 21st created. the Stool has also been through several message board software packages so it is likely some early accounts are either no longer being used or are reserved. It could also mean that the Bare is actually Doc, but I can't imagine Doc taking so long to type up all those crazy messages.

alceringa Posted March 10, 2004 Report Posted March 10, 2004 My recollection is that the first three member numbers taken were some of Doc's various noms de internet including variations of the spelling and punctuation of "Dr Stool" and the name "stoolie" which was used by anyone who wanted to post with anonymity. Several other members of the Doc's family have been contributing members in the past including Sargent Stool, General Stool, Don Stooloni and the gracious Mme. Stool. Here is some of Doc's discussion of the beginnings of the site............ In the beginning there was Dr. Stepan N. Stool, the Stock Proctologist and died- in-the-wool superbear. On the first day Dr. Stool looked at the financial firmament and he smelled something funny. So he said, Let there be Capitalstool.com, not just the same old bull. And there was Capitalstool.com, not just the same old bull. And Dr. Stool saw that it was good. On the second day, in market time (it was actually four months later) Dr. Stool said, Let there be the Stool Pigeons Wire, a message board that Wall Street would hate the most. If I build it, they will come. And there was the Stool Pigeons Wire. And Dr. Stool saw that it was good. And Dr. Stool wrote on the message board what the Great Bear told him. "Wall Street will rain bullshit for 40 days and 40 nights." (Again, this is in market time.) "All the bulls and sheep will drown in it and will perish from the firmament." And Doc knew that this was what he smelled. "So invite bears and stool pigeons of each kind to the Stool Pigeons Wire. There they will be safe from the storm of bullshit, and they in turn will bring others in from the storm. And so Dr. Stool wrote, and he invited the stoolies and bears to come. And Dr. Stool saw that it was good. And since he had worked for two days and saw that it was good, he rested. And the Stool Pigeons Wire begat the first stoolie. Naturally, the first stoolie was a fly, because as you know, flies are always hanging around, yes well, ahem. So the first stoolie, having nothing better to do, came and alighted on the Wire. And the name of the first stoolie was BAREister. And BAREister wrote and Dr. Stool saw that it was good. And BAREister begat yobob1. More from the In the Beginning, Genisis of the Stool Also from Stoolie archives.....HRFF's first avitar...
