[QUOTE=Siege] **Eva Luna** and \*\*CarlyJay \*\* are also on my list. [/QUOTE] Aww, I really DID get a mention!! Though I suspect it was due to my self-insertion into the thread. In which case, hooray for me! Thanks Siege, pleasure knowing you too. šŸ™‚ ---

[QUOTE=Carlyjay] Aww, I really DID get a mention!! Though I suspect it was due to my self-insertion into the thread. In which case, hooray for me! Thanks Siege, pleasure knowing you too. šŸ™‚ [/QUOTE] No, it was because of your thread on waitressing, among other things. **Sunrazor** , while I wonā€™t speak for **Polycarp** , I wouldnā€™t refer to myself as ā€œCatholicā€ any more than Iā€™d refer to myself ā€œWorldwideā€. As an Anglican, Iā€™m a member of the catholic Christian church (note the small ā€œcā€) which includes all forms of Christianity, but Iā€™m not a member of the Catholic (note the capital ā€œCā€) Church and entitled to take Communion in it or otherwise claim membership. **Shirley Ujest** , you, **Kalhoun** , **FriarTed** , **Monstro** , **CajunMan** , **ZevSteinhart** , and \*\*SamClem \*\* were among the people I forgot to name, and you lot are among my favorites! As for you, **gigi** , you were one of the first people I thought of this morning, and not just because of your taste in music. Iā€™d love to spend an evening discussing religion with you, **Sarahfeena** , **Polycarp** , **Tomndebb** , **FriarTed** , **Diogenes** , **ZevSteinhart** , **Doc Cath** ode and **Kalhoun**. ---

[QUOTE=BobLibDem] Just curious, what makes you think that weā€™re all of different social, cultural, and/or ethnic backgrounds than yourself? [/QUOTE] You missed the **etc.** in that list. I also like hearing from people of differing political beliefs, religious beliefs, sexual orientations, etc. If this Board was filled with people just like me it would be boring, not to mention bordering on self-abuse. ---

[QUOTE=What Exit?] I The list are a little tough as it is hard not to forget people but topping my list would be QtM, Silenus, Elendilā€™s Heir, Stranger On A Train, Malacandra, LOUNE, Marley23, Mr Bus Guy, Maureen, Elanorigby, FinnAgain, Crotalus, Winston Smith, Campion, argh this list is too big, I apologize to those I left off.

I would also like to meet **Skipmagic** , **Giraffe** and **TubaDiva** --although I prefer to think of them chained to their computers, forced to moderate as Cecil uses sarcasm and other non-Geneva convention methods to get work out of themā€¦ My list is too long, but hereā€™s an attempt: **WhatExit, Aanamika, WhyNot, Tomndebb, Spatialrift, sampiro, strangeronatrain, Quadagop, Bricker, holmes** and lots more.

[QUOTE=Siege] Oh, great! Iā€™m scrolling through this thread and realizing that, as usual, Iā€™m going to forget a ton of people. Not \*\*Anaamika \*\* and **Anastaseon** , though. Or \*\*Tripler \*\* or **Cuahtemoc** , whose name I always misspell in these threads. **FinnAgain** , Iā€™m sorry I missed you at this yearā€™s Gettysdope, but maybe next year? **EleanorRigby** , **EddyTeddyFreddy** , **MissPurl McKnittington** , whose name Iā€™ve probably botched, **Eva Luna** and \*\*CarlyJay \*\* are also on my list. **Fetus** , the more I see of you, the more I like you and would like to meet you. As for you, \*\*Hentor the Barbarian \*\* and **VetBridge** , I gather you two gentlemen are somewhere in my neck of the woods. Meeting you two would be easy. [/QUOTE] Hot damnā€“made another list. I am not having the best of days, so this is helping. I posted then realized that I had completely forgotten the non-USA contigent. Sorry, folks. > [@](#): > > I know Iā€™ve forgotten a ton of people, but if I mentioned everyone, this post would be even longer than my usual ones. There are some absolutely terrific people around here, and itā€™s a pleasure knowing you. ---

Iā€™ve become friendly with a couple of posters via email, **What Exit?** and **WordMan**. I think itā€™s likely that I may end up meeting them at some point, since I travel to their areas a few times a year. I think Iā€™d enjoy talking with **Left Hand of Dorkness** and **The King of Soup** , and Iā€™d love to meet **Colibri** on his home turf. ---

Iā€™d like to know more about **Terminus Est** , more to discuss Gene Wolfe than anything else. Iā€™ve always found **Qagdop** to be interesting (more for cheese fetishes than anything medical). And I want to find out which restaurant **Anastaseon** worked at in Seattle, so I can find out if my wife and I were her customers. Ohā€¦lastly, **Frylock** seems interesting. -Cem ---

I found two lost souls lost in some other thread, that I did forget last night. **Arien** , I really enjoy your posts in the various Tolkien threads and \*\*EddyTeddyFreddy \*\* is one of the saner people in many of the pit threads that brings a little levity to them. I look forward to your posts. **eleanorigby** : please forgive my misspelling your name, I also failed to bold all the names I mentioned or notice \*\*Silenusā€™s \*\* post earlier. Boy I am glad by dumb luck, yours was the name I thought of right after **QtM**. **Silenus** , when your Dodgerā€™s beat my Yanks again, I will gladly buy you that beer. Needless to say, you and everyone else have an open invitation to visit for a beer and talk without a World Series match-up. šŸ˜‰ I noticed I missed **Baker** also. Hope to meet you at some point.
