I am. The publicity is always welcomed.

I didn't chime in on this because I dismissed R.D.'s remarks as his
typical mad-man rantings. I'm sure he means well :)

I'm almost done with the by-laws for the forthcoming Vintage Computer
Festival: Secret Society for Hardware Hackers (or VCF: SSHH!)

I think we're about evenly split, probably somewhere around 10-12 times
each for lunch and dinner dates. We've even shared a room or two before
in various spots around the world. I'll leave it up to the dirty minded
pervert nerds to imagine what may or may not have happened during such
occasions (hint: nothing).

Did that quench your National Enquirer-esque thirst for rumor and
innuendo?
