Our first user at one company was Richard Test. He had user ID 1001. Well-meaning people deactivated his account several times over the years because it looked fake to them.

Sorry, Richard. I hope you were more amused than annoyed.



I’ve told your story about Mr. Test to several people over the years but I’ve never been able to remember where I got it from. I’m glad to have finally found it again, and thank you for the anecdote!


Hah! That’s awesome. What a small world!
