- vlad 11y agoYou started Feb 22, technically that's a different date. :) The Archive.org page nearest my join date leads with the "Show HN" post for Dropbox, though I actually joined a month earlier in March 2007.

- bootload 11y ago"You started Feb 22, technically that's a different date. :)" correct @vlad, though the Archive.org capture isn't hi-rez enough, I'm only reading what the app shows. Great idea.
