I'd wager that if you put all us in a room, we'd get along just fine.

You and me? Sure. Jim/N2EY and I? Sure. Brian and I? Sure. Here's who
I wouldn't even consider being in the same room with: Larry Roll, Dick
Carroll, Dan/W4whatever, Dave Heil, Waddles (Waddles is non-existent in my
book), and that's just a few. I have no desire to "get along" with people
like that.

Kim:

Well, that's pretty sad. I guess you're overlooking the fact that a person's
online "personality" can be quite different than what one would experience
in person, since the written word, particularly in a virtually immediate forum
such as Usenet, is, indeed, quite impersonal by nature. Moreover, your
expression of a lack of desire to meet with certain members of this forum
could cause all the rest, even those not included on your list, to not wish
to meet with you.

I would jump at any chance to meet any and all of the regulars in this
newsgroup, for no better reason than to see what they are really like in
person. I think that even Len Anderson could prove to be a quite affable
chap, given a chance to get to know him better. I may be wrong, but
at least I'm willing to take that chance. I would like to think that given
the opportunity, your curiosity would ultimately get the upper hand over
your stated objections. If not, one could quite legitimately call your
character into question, at a level far deeper than anything ever said
in this forum.
