Like Jessie I posted on tips and records for quite a while before posting on Gen. I think the first person I spoke to on there was Andy fromOop North. Or it may have been Kal.

On general I think the first person I spoke to was Pat in Circles but it may have been Chunks. There used to be a lot of political chat and I used to talk to David Owen, Circular Pat and Dave Bennett a lot on those.
