   22 years. The best of which is about to be published as The Collected Works Of   
   Beaver Fever And Other Nyms From The Glory Days Of Usenet And Beyond. What   
   nyms are those you ask? Buy the book and find out.

   They also stand out because when I first came here I was in awe of the quality   
   of discussion and the intelligence on display here. But I studied here at the   
   feet of the greats and worked my way up to become the smartest poster here.   
   Not that it's saying    
   much about the group in it's present tense but I am still very proud of what   
   all my hard work has accomplished.

   Hasn't been common ever since adult female genitalia was less likely to   
   actually resemble a beaver.
