As soon as Reddit died I fired up my RSS reader and cleaned up s few obsolete feeds before going and logging back into slashdot. My karma was still good and all my comments were still there from 2001*. The thing is that 2001 is when I finally created. Login. I had been reading it for two years before that. I could have easily gotten a four or five digit ID but my need, even in the 90s, to not have too many logins held me off. So I’m stick with a low 6 digit ID.

*My approved stories are gone. Wasn’t there some catastrophic failure at some point that lost the old stories?
