Very cool. Thank you. (Please note...it took me so long to type this that you and Dawg already beat me to the punch!) Let's see if we can get the Awesome 3-some to speak up. Glenn's made it pretty clear that he won't be available at all ‘til late June. That should work out for people with kids in school and Tim has, so far, been pretty easy-going about it so, obviously, we need his preferences. Dawg we can just bundle into an airline shipping container that Sheila can carry on-board. ;-) Tell ya' what...why don't we shift the Interop thing into just that (an Interop trip) and try to focus on getting as many people as possible organized for the DisPAIR Party when and where the 3 Stooges...er...“Big 3” <g> are all available? Two lists...two events. Might be a huge pain but, as I recall, Glenn said that he and Mary were going to compile the specifics for the Main Event and she could help with the group arrangements. (I'm not volunteering her...I'm pretty sure I remember Glenn saying this). The Interop trip can then be a bit more casual with the understanding that the “Thread Party” is yet to come. Just thinking out loud. You know...this could be pretty cool...If people from this thread are able to get know each other in person and get together for various events it would create a very unique dynamic. Tim has, somehow, managed to gather a lot of very nice, thoughtful people together in one place and that isn't easy in these CyberSpace rooms. What an accomplishment. I've been trading online for quite some time now but it wasn't until I came out of “Lurk Mode” and decided to actually pay for SI (I lurked for a long time under various screen names) that I got the feeling it wasn't me against the world. Why did I pay for SI? Because of Tim's thread. I saw so many friendly, intelligent people that I finally decided I had to try and join in. It's the best investment I ever made. So, that said... Thank you Tim. Thank you Glenn. Thank you Dawg. And thank you to everybody on this thread with all their kindnesses and great senses of humor that make what we do not only rewarding, but a lot of fun! (Paul is through gushing now) {:-)
