SA, you and Billytea were both at the DC F2F--surely there was meetage of some description.

Oh, that's right. I remember a sort of vague talking about some sort of creature in the lounge of the DC hotel. So I *have* met Billytea. Ha, universe. Ha ha ha.

ETA: #48. Wow. Never really noticed that before.

(Unspecified)"We were talking," "This came up in a discussion the other day," "Somebody posted a link," "I have a friend (whose child did similar, who had the same symptoms, who feels the way you do)". If I'm clever, quick, and engaging, we've moved past the "who, now?" before it comes up. If it does, "A posting board I read. We have teachers, attorneys, actuaries, writers, rocket scientists, theatre people, music people, from all over the world. So, you know, a pretty broad perspective." And then I smile and stare 'em down and dare them to mock.

met bev's sons

Both of them, you did! And they met you, too (StY says hi, btw).

I also fed ND lunch and ferried him in my little Buffycar, my SX-400, from a seminar he gave at NCSA to smonster's place when he was doing a tour of Buffistas between speaking engagements. And he survived the drive!

Oh man, I don't get to check Natter as often as I'd like to, and I skip and skim when I do. Bitches is a lost cause for me now, and has been for a while. But when I do get a chance to read and post, I *still* feel like I have nothing original to say, that the conversation has moved on without my input just fine and you all said what I was going to say, and I have to make myself post. It's not necessarily a lurker thing. Speed and sparkle continue to intimidate. But the cheerful welcome is worth the deep breath and the finger on the "post" button.

Come on, you know you wanna!

ETA: 18

this speed of conversation is why most of our wonderful lurkers stay lurked

My dog, this! Yeesh!

Come out, dear lurkers! It's perfectly fine to say what someone else already said, and to say it about 900 posts after the conversation. At least, it seems to be - I do it all the time, and they haven't banned me yet.

Also, I'm 423. A nice symmetrical number. I like it. 4 has always been my favorite number. It's possible I did register because Joss was posting, but I truly don't remember.

WHO IS NUMBER 6?

I am, actually.

I lurked for a while in Minearverse because Tim was providing Wonderfalls updates, but I registered specifically to thank Kiba Rika for uploading the "I Wonder Why the Wonderfalls" music video before (or after) the official site went down. I hadn't really intended to stick around, I don't think, but it just kind of happened.

Also: 1290.

WHO IS NUMBER 6?

I am, actually.

Only on b.org would you actually get a response to that question.

Dana: Could it be that you are in fact also Number 1?

(Okay, if you never watched The Prisoner, I now sound insane.)

I have a high number, and I don't know why, As you all know, I have been here since TT, and I am way wicked gabby.

I have watched The Prisoner. Like I'd tell you if I was Number 1. Maybe you should ask Number 2.
