>> Am I misremembering? Because I think I got on this list when I was in grad school which would have been in the mid-late 90s. The reason I'm asking is that I am thinking of retiring. I was a really old grad student and now I'm retiring early. Even so. Is it possible I've been on this list my entire professional career?<br>
