Since my joining here I have met a few and have started following a bunch. It started for me on Facebook, that is internet friendships. I've made some good friends there but haven't met mostly because of long distances. I would say that if it wasn't for Facebook, I'd never have made my way over here.
This place is far different than Facebook in that here its all about trains. Facebook has so many different things going on that it is very blurry to see what's going on unless you try and focus on very few things(unless you have tons of interests that tie you down).
It is distressing to know so few and see when some great forum members have passed away. It becomes difficult to try and imagine who the person was until others post their condolences and you begin to get an idea.
I can't wait to meet more folks when I am able to attend the next York(October hopefully in the fall as not able this April again) and get into a rhythm of attending regularly like so many others have been able to do.
I'd say if it wasn't for Peter(Putnam Division), I'd not know anyone at all. Gonna have to meet all of you then with Peter giving introductions like he did last October.
