I was very touched that Ira and his wife made the trip over from Jersey to meet us at a nice little jazz club in Queens, while we were there visiting family.
They are both very interesting and personable, it was a real treat to spend a few hours with them. And as a bonus, we were all impressed with Club Ornithology...was more like being in someone's living room than in a club.
The moral of the story is don't pass up a chance to tie in with some of the folks who are on these boards.
Happy Holidays to all.

I can attest that I have made some real friendships on these boards, and manny many have more so. The posts are not just abstract virtual words, but real people and real relations. This is partly, I'd not largely, why the community and manner of communication particularly here is more civilised and enduring than a typical forum.
Still, many have not realised that this Shrewdom continuation of the culture actually exists. The reaction upon seeing a link is that it 'could not be possible', and to continue thinking the communicative has vanished. Upon arriving some of the comments are 'What? How is this even possible?'.
Because of that, therefor most important that you continue to make contact with everyone you were previously in contact to give them the opportunity to meet with friends they thought had vanished. This is rather time critical also.

I also met Ira and his wife a number of years ago. A very pleasant time with them. And as you said, don't pass up the opportunity to meet others in person.
