Used to be a good friend of mine Bazz. My wife always thought he was a rather decent chap

Lontano has ,JulianH would and I will. Most of the forumites I have met are covered in Lontano and DenisA's posts.


Chris Kelly and Graham Russell I met at a previous Summer Sounds event at PJs Guildford.
JulianH, munch, Mike 7 and I meet up quite frequently and Chris and I keep in touch,usually by e-mail.

Cymbiosis and TomTom I have meet or dealt with.

You've met me, you bad lad. Left a deposit too!

I was very fortune to chat with Julian a couple of times back in the day.
I've met Paul Stephenson & Sir James of Tom Tom Audio.
Delightful to have exchanged emails with forum legends & gentlemen GFFJ & Ewemon.
Adam & I will always have Paris.
Sorry to those I've forgotten.

And BigH47, Seagull (eventually!), DenisA, ewemon, Jet Johnson (all three of whom spoke with a Polar accent) and Doug Graham (who showed me a silver Naim amp once - I've just about recovered), Paul, Simon from Naim, a host of email/PM-friends (remember when we were trusted with PMs?), and a large bunch of folk whose logins are covered in spider webs and dust...

It has to be said that, despite what Mother told me about talking to strange men on the Internet, every one I've met/corresponded with has been great. The kindness and thoughtfulness many have shown says a lot about how well "real" cyber-commnunities can work.

Errm, gotta get me thinking cap on....
