As has been alluded to already, I’ve met at least a _lot_ of Dopers (including three who have posted in this thread alone), so I expect the web of people I’m one degree of separation from is probably in the several hundreds. The people I’m one degree of separation from who’ve posted in thread are: **An Gadaí** , **silenus** , **Elendil’s Heir** , **gonzomax** , **Jonathan Chance** , and **Chronos**. ---

I’ve met a ton of people who don’t post much, plus: Padeye GIGOBuster Idle Thoughts Dalej42 MeanOldLady I think gigobuster and idle thoughts met Coldfire, which probably puts me 1 to 3 degrees away from, like, every doper. ---
