I've been on this list since the early 2000's. I used to participate a lot back then but then took up a non-php related job and I stopped paying attention to the list. I've been working again with php for the past 4.5 years but choose to just monitor the list and haven't participated much. Perhaps I should participate more. But yeah, I've been here like 12 years or so. God I'm getting old.
