I still correspond with **hpstrdufuz** who is no longer active on this board. And **Lileth**. I was _trying_ to remember **Lockean** ’s name. Wasn’t he the guy used to like to argue about statistics? Oh man, what a creep **alankngsly** was and he didn’t even know it. I blocked him out. Okay, here’s historic trivia for you: **PerkyDan** started out as **Riviera** with some number attached.

Well, these are on my list of Dopers I’m a Fan Of and Damn the Preposition:

**Shirley U Jest** (all this time and I still can’t remember how to spell her name right), because she’s Just So Cool.  
**Jodi** , because she can say in four words what takes me three paragraphs  
**RTFirefly** , who earned a place in my heart during my divorce (ditto about thirty or other Dopers)  
**Rue** , who is gonna be famous someday and probably deny that he met me at a Dopefest but HE DID! And sat right beside me! And I barely said a word to him because I felt like an idiot. _sigh_  
**Persephone** , whose passing made me realize some heavy-duty things about my life and priorities.

I could go on and on, but then I’ll get all sentimental and have to start telling stories…

Satan  
Opalcat  
Polycarp  
Scylla

But that’s obviously an old-school list. (One which I myself might have found myself on at one time…how things change. :D)
