Well, to be completely honest, the only Lego-related reason I'd want to meet
with other Legomaniacs is to steal ideas from them. There. I've admitted
it. My burden feels somehow lighter now. :-,
As for non-Lego-related reasons... There are too many reasons for too many
people to list here. I think it would be a real hoot to meet everyone I've
dealt with online, to get face-to-face and find out just how different we
all are IRL. The rare in-person parties -- and Tradewars 2002 (1) -- are
the most awesome things that the BBS scene had to offer me. For example, I
knew this one guy on a local BBS who happened to be a central member in a
rather good Celtic musical trio, and I had no clue until I met him.

Amen. You may never see these things even if you see the person each day.
It's like Billy Joel's stranger -- we all have a face that we hide away
forever, and we take them out and show ourselves when everyone has gone.
(2) The pseudo-anonymity the Internet provides lets a lot more people show
off their different faces. IMO, this cannot be a bad thing.

1. And Barren Realms Elite, and VGA Planets, etc. etc. etc. Yes, I was --
and am still -- addicted. :-,
2. A direct quote; go listen to it. I can't say enough good things about
this album. Good stuff.
