Huh. I sent it to the Hotmail address in your profile. I’ll try to send it again.

Okay, I sent it. I don’t know why the last one didn’t go through. If you still don’t get it, I’ll use a different account.

**Shibb** , that’s my baby. **SkyClad** is her chosen identity on various other sites. She’s only an admirer when she wants use of my credit card. 😛

**ThePerfectChild[sup]TM[/sup]** was _supposed_ to be a self-fulfilling prophesy…

Hey, I’m just wandering in … after reading the whole thread. I’ve been off the boards all week as I finally finished the last bits of my degree. (It now appears I done become an official Master of the Art of English)

Anyway 'twas swell meeting ya’ll. I’d never before met anyone “from the internet” and it was fun. My forearms were sunburned, but hey; no gutson no glory.

**Bear** I had no idea by the end who owed what to whom, but I’ll take your word for it, and look for two beers next 'fest. 😉

Hey, **furt** , you’re not dead! I was starting to wonder, although I knew that with finals week (my last of the semester was tonight) that you’d be busy. I was glad to meet you too – it was also the first time for any Internet arranged meeting for me. We definitely need more central Florida fests.

Sho’ 'nuff nice to hear you done earned youself your master’s in the English. I’ve got 'til December for my bachelor’s, then maybe an MBA.

Hey, congrats, furt!

This was my third meeting with “Internet Folks” (if you don’t count having lunch with GolfWidow). It’s now my husband’s second meeting with “Internet Folks”. As I told tavalla, now that he’s met you guys, you are now officially Real People. He also seems convinced that AugestWest is a Real Person after seeing him on Jeopardy. He was rooting for him as hard as I was!

For the next year or two, yes. I need to work full-time for awhile and then decide whether or not I’m going for a PhD. The academic job market is not pretty (as I am discussing [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=253600)). If I find a good program in MD, I’ll drop a line …
