Re: May We welcome The One & The Only back....
On the matter of meeting one in person, I have this to share.
I once ran into Kenn at BVO and being the handsome fellow that he is, i recognised him, went up introduced myself and said hi. He was, however, with another fellow forummer whom he obviously knew very well. So there we were, 3 of us having coffee around a table in the old kopitiam opposite BVO. Kenn obviously was very engrossed in a discussion with the other chap, which unfortunately I was not privy to but since I had little context, it was difficult (and very rude!) for me to join the discussion. It seem rather awkward at times as well.
Don't get me wrong, Kenn was a friendly and helpful chap but the point I'm trying to make is that even if we meet in person, it takes a lot for a newbie to break into an existing group whom has known each other for years. Equally hard for an old bird to break out from his existing comfort zone of old buddies to engage the newbies as well.

OK lah, when I met up with Maximizer, we didn't find it too awkward, and I was looking forward to meeting up with Spencer and bone-stock-solid man Ah Wing - and none of them disappointed. I think by and large, it's not only the person, but the context. We planned for the meet up, and all of us were happy to finally put a face to the nickname. I guess in your case, you ran into Kenn, and he already had a prior engagement, so to speak.
On the same note, if Brobot is reading this, he has GOTTA STOP leaving love notes on my windscreen - and just come on down to say hello

No I'm not an Internet keyboard superhero - I'll say it in their faces if I have to! Thought you'd have known my style by now
Before you throw the rule book at me again, lemme just say: this is your forum and really none of my business, so I shall draw the line here.
Coffee among friends is always on - call me anytime, my PM box is full and won't be checked again.
