lukewarmfusion's Journal: Frosty what?

I got my first "first post" today, and completely on accident. It was modded +5 Funny. I tossed out a one-liner... really the only thing I had to say on the topic. I was surprised to see that it was the first post because I didn't hurry - it was probably three or four minutes after the story showed up on the front page that I responded. I guess I got lucky.

Why do people really care about first posts anyway? Why do I care?
