Who was the first ever person to say 'dunno but thanks for the 2 points' on Yahoo! answers?

I'd like to know who the culprit is because they have a lot to answer for.

Update:

Thanks for the highly original answers so far, I didn't see that coming

    Well, this is supposedly the 1st question on YA:

    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=10051207000...

    And after much research, this is the farthest back I found "Thanks for the points":

    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=10060216088...

    That's the best I can do! Sorry, but it just wasn't worth it anymore! Interesting note - this didn't seem to be a big issue until about 3 months ago from what I saw!

    AND the original users on YA in December 2005 were very informative and polite! WOW! My how things have changed!

    We will NEVER know who the first person was!! No possible way to find that out! It's just like asking........."who was the first person to say F#@K." No one could ever know.

    lol!

    Do you realize how tempting it will be for someone to answer:

    Dunno but thanks for the 2 points!

    QUESTION: Who was the last person to insult the people who answer questions on Yahoo! Answers?
