  • Neither of your 'conditions' is that bad or unusual and are in line with how you describe yourself at times. You seem more outgoing than you did several years ago when I first met you. :)

  • We met four years ago online. Eventually, you became a frequent visitor to my forum 'Not of this World.' The rest is history.
