I know Kyla, so the web expands out more.

aaaaaaand a Charter Member from Lansing (until recently) whoooose name totally escapes me right now.
Did you forget your father?
What’s a father?
Also, gonzomax.
That depends on a-what you are comparing.
Two pence.
I’ve met:
What Exit?
An Gadai
Loach
kittenblue
BMalion
Samclem
Tomndebb
Gfactor
Tuba Diva
Elmwood
And I’m sure I’m forgetting someone… forgive me.
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 believe Johnny L.A. has met Shayna (unless I have her mixed up with someone else) and I’ve met Johnny L.A.
moi and I met scads of you through Jonathon Chances parties. (Nate, if I ever did anything Embarrassing, I apologize.) Not to mention PhillyDope dinners.

Oh, and Blue Kangaroo, of course.
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.
Ok…you’re forgiven.
I’ve spoken to samclem over the phone and met Hirka T’Bawa for a lovely dinner once.
Ah, yes - we met at What Exit?'s Joisey debaucheries a few years ago, didn’t we?
