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.


And, I would be upset....because? I don't get on a forum in a newsgroup
with the intention of meeting and greeting. Your excuses for your behavior
that this is "just a newsgroup" are weak and shrill at best. I think those
of us who probably would meet in real life are those who have been frank and
honest about who we are, up front and without using the guise of a newsgroup
to act in a manner inconsistent with who we are as people. THOSE are the
people who would end up meeting and not having to waste time muddling
through who we are and who we ain't, Larry.


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.

I am not in least bit curious about the majority of people in this
newsgroup. Most of all, those mentioned above.
