Tonight I met up with Webster who I've only previously corresponded with thru these mailing lists....and besides me having had a few looseners with fellow ACA Paul Mepham beforehand, and the noise in the restaurant, and the general lateness of our meals....well, to be honest, I warned Web beforehand he wouldn't understand my thick north-eastern accent, and polite as he was, I don't think he had a clue what I was on about!
But I am pleased to finally make some connect between the offline and online worlds I inhabit, and talk face-to-face with those who influence me from the context of these lists. In fact I think mr webster should meet me for lunch tomorrow so I can actually make an impression on him he can understand, I feel kinda guilty I can understand him but he couldn't work out what I was saying.... But it was a pleasure to make my first "list acquaintance" anyway! Cheers, JR Sent from my Blackberry, which may be an antique but delivers email RELIABLY
