The other day there were postings about the first Kudoz question (actually numbered 2), the 100th, 1000th and so on. Today I was curious and tried to get at the first topic. Numbers 1,50, 80 drew a blank. The earliest I could get was vide http://www.proz.com/topic/83. Is there anything earlier than this? Which thread got the maximum replies?

Thanks Narasimhan for bringing the question Sep 7, 2003

and Evert for giving the link.

- I didn't know that peergrading had been anonymous.

- I discovered that forums had not existed for long when I joined

- I have failed to find my first post

And one other comment, Nasimhan. You're not alone having "the dubious distinction of posting a topic with zero replies". It's amazing to see how many people never got an answer. I imagine that it's because there were less members, because even if it happens from time to time now, it doesn't happen too often.
