I'm a newbie so don't look at me. Well, maybe after 10 months I'm not strictly a newbie, but compared to lots I am :)

Harvey registered before I did, sort of. The time shows the same, but his profile ID is one number lower.

Harvey and Russ clocked in at the same time, October 9, 1999, 2:12 AM. Which is probably the last time those two guys were ever in sync with each other. ;)

kami,

Zuni's is the lowest at 572. For some reason, there is no 573. All the numbers below 572 was beta testing time.
