And also about the names, I definitely didn't mean that we had such a tradition now, just that it was part of our heritage, and we have some relics from it. I think we fairly specifically didn't add it to our faqs, etc., cause it's not a part of our board culture now. And also many of us who were formerly Real Name, Esq., have edited now, cause of all the scary internet people.
This must be what going mad feels like.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Also, being included in most of the emails will give those of us without a reliable income a way to contribute when we can, even if we can't every time.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I created a Word table for the LA F2F, with columns for board name, real name, email addy, cell phone #, and hotel & flight info (not applicable here). I emailed it to Deena a month or two ago. Some have been added since the F2F.
It's 1.5 8.5 x 11 sheets. I'm not sure what the database looks like, but I can email the table to those who want it.
We need a yearbook, don't you think?

For those wondering, ita & I made an executive decision to put the link to Tim's letter on the front pages.

For those wondering...
Good decision too. Copied and distributed far and wide. May the force be with it.

And a fine executive decision it was.
