Of course, WE know that SI is a cut above, but to try and explain it to someone who’s never posted here or met any of us, it is almost mind-bending to them, that we would go off and meet complete strangers in a strange place. I’m sure, many thought we’d be on the front page of the paper with our heads cut off, but we all managed to make it home with our heads in tact, and much better of for the experience. I've often wondered how my life would be if SI suddenly disappered from the ether. I think we'd all be diminished somehow.

That is so very true, R~~~ As Smithee says, we would all somehow be diminished....We would feel the loss! Very strange, isn't it?

I really agree with you. I've had some great friends here and have had a few who no longer participate. One of the saddest losses on SI for me. I used to talk with Bill Meehan of Cantor Fitzgerald, I was introduced to him by Paul M. (antman) who was also active on the now dormant Myth thread. Bill was tragically killed on 9-11 as he was on floor 103 or something like that on the first tower of the World Trade Center. Really though. I used to really enjoy talking to Henry Volquardsen, who I had worked with at Citibank back in the 1980's, when I was a very young pup -g- ahh memory lane. John
