No worries. Lucky if 3 people come back to 2020 and your score. You will have a long ways to catch up to 2024 and it will be 2026 then, LOL. Sometimes MeTv reposts ones from arrears again.

After taking it, was surprised it was so old.
Don't recall taking it before & didn't notice in comments if had, but it is definitely a possibility.

Yes I was on it below 50 months ago. Some of the same folks still around. You can also go back on your timeline or anyone's else timeline. That way you can see what a trouble maker I was 4-5 years ago 👀😜.

WOW - Thanks for the lesson, T-L! Knew about self's history in COMMENTS section under own name but not that others' were available to anyone. Hmmm.. don't know if I like THAT because of security issues.
Ok, I will take up the challenge tomorrow of verifying what a scalawag You were - compared to where You rank NOW on the Scalawag Scale !

Security. Most everything one posts on the internet can be googled and found. Every post you ever made will be there. I probably am there 10,000 times with the movie quiz I do and quizzes and movies I post. I guess one can go to a certain place in Google and ask not to be.
