Or if you are using the binary system of 1 and 0, are you saying you are "OFF"?
Sorry, couldn't resist the temptation to be a smart a**. I like your originality.

See? YOU CAN'T HIDE FROM THE BINARY!
Ultimately, every single computer on the planet, at its most basic level, talks in zeros and ones. 
Therefore, in a computer world, the first number is ZERO!

Check post 75,118 and 119. Somewhere in your metamorphisis you got confused, not once but twice. First, you tried to sell my number (post 756) and when that didn't work, you tried a hostile takeover(post 781) using my number.
Thats identity theft.
I've been #26 since post 75 and on every roster since. Your bad! So for $40 I'll sell it to you!

Did I find the Last Page or are there more? If this is the Last Page then I would like to apply for #311 which I am certain to never forget.
Last week I could not remember my SSN while paying an invoice; went to the office to look it up the next day; did not have time to call until the following day and so was fined for being a day late. I have also forgotten my mobile phone number, ID number at the gym, former phone number that is used as ID at the grocery, former former phone number that is used as ID on my car insurance, former former former phone number that is used as contact for my savings account, etc.
