what happened in 04 that so many ppl seem to have found this place? That's when I got here but can't recall how.
Is that around when the Baffler excerpted the MIA thread?

I learned about google on my first professional job, which lasted from 2000 to late 2003. I feel fairly certain I encountered ILX during that time as well, but it seems too early given my posting history.
