Greetings Alastair!
It is good to see you here! Seems to me this site has great potential. I've been participating for about a week, and during that time membership has gone from about 90 to your 148. I have already 'met' a few people who I feel to be solid, substantive allies and friends. Rather amazing given the tenous nature of the medium. I felt that solid "thunk", (aren't I eloquent?), of substantial beings and potential friends from their profiles, quickly confirmed with the exchange of a few emails. I guess when there is an energetic match the medium of the meeting doesn't matter.
Re our 3-way with Rob Riman, nothing in my inbox yet. I have dial-up, so I will hop on and hop off to check for phone messages every once in a while.
Cheers! George ~
