Poor Jess. One of the voices of reason coming out of Australia and stuck with the ASI She has a nice wit about her and that's always a plus.

Ryan's one of the more interesting characters around here. No, wait, let me change that. One of the more interesting people around a place where people try to develop artificial characters to stand in place of them. I have a lot of respect for him and for what he's overcome. Great guy.

I just haven't had the chance to talk with EE in chat in a long time, but I've thought well of him.

Ah, Elaine! A true Irish honey and one of the very few people here with whom I've shared my last name (I think it was in context with some castles in Ireland, yes?). Haven't been able to talk with her as much lately, which is very regrettable. Her outer beauty is eclipsed only by her inner.

I wonder how Aimee's doing these days? Sigh, I hate losing touch with so many people these days

Sean's one of those OF enthusiasts that makes the place rock so much at times. I'm so glad he loves visiting the place and pouring his emotions into what he's reading and enjoying

I miss talking with Steph and Geoff. Hope they're doing well.

OF regular, one of the few Poles we have, and someone who hopefully can keep Maciek in line when it comes to Erikson

I don't see Elzabet around as much as I did three years ago, but with a youngun to care for, she's busy being a great mom, I'm sure. Always polite, friendly, and very intelligent. Plus, she (along with Nephtis and Vivien) got me interested in Octavia Butler, so that's a very good thing™

Ah, one of those who loved following Rule #3, yet sadly I found myself not paying attention at the time - sorry!

I'm inserting Steffi's screen name in here, because I have always enjoyed chatting with her in both decent English and my horrible German Like with others, I just regret not being able to chat much anymore

OF regular and one of the earliest Keyes enthusiasts there.

Believe it or not, I've missed chatting with Erik. Never had a problem with him and I actually respected his opinions and some of his music.

Whipped Nah, I've always enjoyed interacting with him and Kristin. Beneath my "evil" façade I really do have lots and lots of respect for the two of them for being so courteous and caring. There, I said it - now leave me alone!

Tim's one of the more intelligent people here. His enthusiasm for languages, particularly the classical ones, is infectious. Fellow enjoyer of C.S. Lewis's apologetics on Christianity. Very good guy to chat with.

Fan's one of the sparks that makes this entire conglomeration of people move. Whether he's been thoughtful, funny, or just being acerbic toward someone, he does it with a style all his own. I'm glad he's around when he can be.

Ah, Matrimony... interesting poster with a lot to say. Still wondering why the SN was banned.

I haven't talked with Brad as much as I probably should have, but he really does care about the important things in life. Hopefully the coming years will bring even more understanding for someone who seems to be searching so earnestly for it.

I remember when he was first starting out as a teacher. I hope the profession is working out better for him than it did for me.

miki...What can I say about you here that I haven't before? You're one of my favorites and I sincerely hope you find even more amounts of peace and love in the coming months and years. You've helped me so much over the past year and have helped me become a better person. For that, I'm ever grateful. Thanks.

WoT MB regular and someone who I don't know well enough yet, which is a shame, since from what I can tell, he has a nice personality and wit about him.
