All of you, really. Except for Cecil Adams, nobody wants to talk to him. š

My goodness, Iāve been posting so little in the last couple of years I didnāt think anyone would know I was here, let alone find me interesting. Thanks! I do, in fact, also remember enjoying your posts, and thatās not just a polite reciprocation. š
Feel free to add me on any of the IM protocols listed in my profile, or to send me an email. Be advised, though, that Iām the King of Busyvaria this semester, so Iām not online a lot; donāt take it as a snub.

Iād like to meet all the Australian Dopers- from the top of my head Kambuckta, Bites When Provoked, Martini Enfield (sort of Australian š ), Cunctator, The Loaded Dog and Princhester.
Apologies to those I have missed.

Well, thank you kindly! And Iāll pay for the pizza, because otherwise, Iām a really cheap drunk. I was sitting here trying to figure out what I might have said that got your attention, when it suddenly came to me: it must have been my spirited defense of mutant candy canes last holiday season. š

How did I miss that? No, it was how you handled the situation with your helpful neighbor who mowed down all the trees you planted.

That gentleman **cmyk**! Heās a prince! š
I forgot to tell whoād Iād like to meet, beside Mr. ļ£æ there; **lieu** , of course, since heās so darn funny, and kind; **Baldwin** , since heās so darn nice (also); **DianaG.** because sheās bitchy in a good way (and she might loan me a purse); **Caricci** , so she doesnāt put a curse on me; **Sampiro** , for all the usual Because Heās Sampiro reasons.
Oh heck, and everyone else. I havenāt been around for nearly 10 years because I donāt LIKE you ALL!

Intersting idea. I suppose the Canadian contingent of **RickJay** , **featherlou** , **spoon** , **sam stone** , **bookkeeper** and company would rank pretty high up there.
The Tolkien crowd (and I canāt do better than **What Exit?** ās list) have always come across as interesting and a good bunch to have drinks with.
And finally thereās a bunch of dopers that have teamed up over on [Travian](http://www.travian.us/) to try and win. So now thereās **USCDiver** , **Ellis Dee** , **LT Rico** , **Algher** and company Iād find interesting meeting up with.

Iād love to meet you in a diner in Mayberry, but there aināt any. š
However, a diner I used to frequent in the town where I grew up, Goshen Indiana, was featured in an episode of _Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives_. Iāll meet you thereā¦
You like me! You reallly really like me!

While I was trying to avoid listing specific people, youāre on my list, because of the neat places youāve lived, and because you seem like a cool person.

Squee! Somebody picked me! Of course itās probably because I had just posted or we have the same initials or something like that. I often mistake **What Exit?** for myself in threads because I just notice the capital W & E. I think of him as my posting twin ā¦ except he posts nothing like me.
I donāt want to single anyone out so Iāll just say everybody, except for that one really annoying poster. You know the one I mean, the one whoās always posting and saying stuff. Yeah, that one.
