What is spcial about this date?

I don't know, but I just happened to find that according to their user profiles, 4 out of 5 of our "Top Forum Posters" have '02-20-2005' as their "Join Date".

This is probably a trivial issue, but as the WTBS Trivia guy, it was something that attracted my notice.

Sam, as I recall, Mike revamped the web site several years back, and a side effect was that anybody who was already a member was given a join date of 2-20-05.

My join date is also listed as 2-20-05, and I know I've been here much longer than that. In fact, if you look at the archives of the trivia game, you will find that I began my gig as moderator in November 2004.

I sort of thought it would be something like that. Thanks.

I must confess that I was the 4th of those 5, and am somewhat embarrassed, in that while my posts, relative to those of the other four, may be compared quantitatively, I'll bet those other posters are way ahead of me as far as quality.
