I'm just wondering how long the people who frequent this forum have actually been here and looking to see if there is some connection between the longevity of your stay and the cynicism of your posts, lol. Only kidding. I'm really just wondering in general.

PS I'm not going to specify whether this is to include breaks at home, etc. It's up to you. If someone was to ask you how long you've been in Korea (like I am now..), what would you say?

Well, came here in August of '96, left, came back, left, came back....

I've been here CONTINUOUSLY since August '01.

And Dave's WAS around back then!! Just a different format (remember how they used to post the threads??!!) and if you think the cynicism and flaming are bad NOW, you should have seen it back THEN!!
