So, how many of you know each other personally?

I did not log on here until toward the end, and did not post here until after Y2K. So, I hope you'll understand that I lack a lot of background regarding the early (and probably more exciting) pre-rollover days on this forum.

Watching recent posts, I've become curious about one question -- I've gotten the impression that a lot of you know a lot of the rest of you personally, rather than over the net only. Is this true? If so, to what extent?

I've seen various referenced to meetings, past and present and to the names attached to various handles. And, of course, some forum citizens here seem to have a very personal ax to grind with others.

So what's the scoop? What's the dirt? Who knows who, when and how?

Enquiring minds want to know!

This forum is headed by a cabal that meets at an esoteric rendezvous called Bok's.

How many pounds of beans do you own?

Or you wouldn't think of having any "SUCH THING" in your home?

Poundage(spelling)

That is "who is here?"

absolutes are questionable, yes?

LOL.... my best guess would be first degree, or slap happy buds... your call on that one :-)

As you may know, I have met with Flash, but have not had the pleasure of meeting anyone else personally. I have gotten to know many better through chat and through exchanges of e-mails. One gets to know folks on a more personal level through these mediums.

As I discovered yesterday, there is more to learn about one another, if people are so inclined. A few who thought they knew me found out I had a very dark sense of humor and that threw them for a loop. More will be revealed, as I always say.

I have personally met Bill Schenker, Ken Decker and Robert Cook. If I've met anyone who posts under an alias, I wouldn't know it.

Oxy -- now I've seen the threads about Vegas, and must admit I wondered what it was about, and where it came from.

And, actually, I plan to fly into Vegas on October 21. Gotta spend a week or so at the bottom of the Grand Canyon every year or so (This year -- North Bass to Tapeats below the Powell Plateau; you know how it is), so I'll at least be around the area. I'd be interested in knowing what's going on.
