I've met a few, but hopefully not so many I'll forget any (lest they hunt me down and beat me. )

Min Farshaw was the first (well, technically, moondog was, but I'd known him for nearly 20 years before he joined wotmania.) She needed a ride to Obamas first major campaign rally and I happened to be living just north of Austin at the time. Ah, so young and naïve then.... Somehow I never met Mike despite working ten minutes from him for about two years.

Later I visited rebelaessedai and mr. rebel one summer; despite two additional trips I've yet to meet Phelix or LaSombra and eventually intend to make them fight to the death in penalty for that (I will accept wagers on the outcome.)

After that I came here and met my wife; the rest, as they say, is history.

The next year I came here to see her again and also met ©amilla (Camilla,) Sansa (Milla) and Sprite Sedai (Spriteling; not sure how I missed kikkoman (Tor) in all that.) Then the wife and I took separate flights to WA to meet the rebels again, as well as Min_Cauthon (Kylia Skydancer.)

I BELIEVE that's it, so far, but I'm also rather sick and tired at present, so if I missed anyone, my deepest and humblest apologies.

Also, at this time I would like to reiterate my support for the notion of a Skype conference call, ideally with video, at SOME point during the Edinburgh Gathering, since I know I and others have no hope of making it there.
