    Rather quickly, what happened is that they got bored and left. Some of them were great from the get-go and stuck around and our community grew and received some of my favorite hubskiers to date. -flagamuffin (I think)

Heh! Not I. (I would be a bit of hypocrite if I had.) I would tell you how I found hubski if I could remember. Maybe a conversation or an article or just searching around.

--The better angels of our nature; I was just reading that speech. Did you know Seward wanted Lincoln to say something like "the higher angels above" or some such and Lincoln rendered it secular? One of the greatest lines ever written.

Great post by the way.

Thanks, I didn't know that about the speech. -Some people have fantastic intuition, from what I've read about Lincoln he seems to be one of them.

Did you come to the community prior to that? Or possibly around the same time? I'm sorry I lumped you in with that occurrence but for what it's worth I've always thought of you as one of the best things to come of that influx :) -speaking of which, I miss fuffle. He's not been around for a while. Anyways, regardless of how you found the site, I'm very glad you did.

Before, I think. So I adequately understand that pre-theoryofreddit was hubski x, post was hubski y, and post-post was hubski x.1 -- and that wasn't a bad thing.

I was just looking for fuffle yesterday, actually. Shame.
