I thought we should try and make an effort to bring other AFOL's who don't
know about lugnet into the lugnet fold. I am therefore asking those amongst
us who know of other AFOL's around the country to either post details about
these people [name, collection info, suburb/town] so those near them may
attempt to inform them of our community and get their involvement, or in the
hope that these people are actually lurking, and that this may give them a
prod towards de-lurking.
I'll lead this off with details of 2 collectors that may not be widely
known. [I'll scan the sources of this information too, if people would like
to see them.]
