I have a sub-20k user ID. I use it to remind myself that reading stuff on the web doesn't make you rich.

- deerpig 11y agoMine is 64K or so, signed up six months after I had been reading the site when I owned an ISP in Hong Kong. I still read the headlines every day but I haven't looked at a comment thread in years. I'm still quite fond of /. despite their shortcomings. I was visiting the States when their anniversary came up and there were /. meetups set up around the country. We went to the one in San Diego and was genuinely surprised at the low quality of tech knowledge and level of conversation... bit of a let down.....
