Huh. As luck and coincidence would have it, I was only off by about 10 pages (give or take ~400 posts, or a month's worth of effort, back then) by my original, off-the-top (or outta my rabbit's hole) remark about my first post in this thread.
Turns out it was on page
158 (standard 40-posts-per-page view) that I popped up here. Also, I was kind of an obnoxious dick at first (very sorry about that) so please excuse my voice and posts from back then.
