Many, many years ago there was a forerunner of this site called SaintsList which was email based. We arranged a few meetings for posters near The Dell and on one occasion I attended a "do" in a local pub that included none other than Ted Bates and Rupert Lowe. It was interesting to meet so many people that I had only previously met online and as Pap says, you see them in a different light. Once you have meet people in the flesh (so to speak) and get to know them properly it does tend improve the online relationships. I am sure for example that Alpine cant possibly be so negative in real life (then again...).
