Heh, yeah, I was surprised (and pleased) to get as many replies as I did 😉 Speaking of which, what do people think our names-policy for the meet should be? Real names or aliases? I’m happy to answer to Cinn for the day 😉 (although shouting “Oi, Dunkelheit, mine’s a pint!” across a crowded bar could get us some odd looks!) ---

Maybe we should have nametags with both. 😉 I’ve been to an event meeting people who I only knew by pseudonyms, and it got confusing. ---
