Meeting online members

[trout]

I get to meet one of the nicest and best loved Aussie members on CCF tomorrow.:yahoo:
Just thought I would share.
I have never met (in person)any member from any forum and I am realy looking forward to this.
As I live in a numismatic desert it will make my year to have a yarn face to face  with someone that shares my passion for coins.

Um who?
Is it Nancy?
I would love to meet her

I have met PPH :give_heart:
My folks also got to meet markn, but I think I was buried in too many threepence albums, I don’t remember what he looks like.

I missed a few others at ANDA, I think goatieman was there and a few others, Also bumped into a Silver stacker, I dint know who he was till I got home and went online, had to put two and two together.
You don’t really know who people are till you get talking, and you mention a forum or website and there like hay I am this person and your like just wow, I would have never guessed.

Ah you're just going to love it, It will knock your socks off

How did it go trout?

[trout]

How did it go trout?

it was a realy good day.
i went into town and picked Sel up and he came out home for most of the day.
We talked coins and things in general, He was very impressed with the coin albums and pages I got off Purple Penny.
The bloke is an absolute gentleman and a bloody nice bloke. :good:

[AaronG]

Didn't expect anything bad! Good to hear!

Do you know Sel personaly?

[AaronG]

No No I do not. Would just find it hard to believe a reputable member in this small community would be a worry, but I guess it's all behind a computer screen, I do not know anybody from CCF or here personally, sorry for the confusion

I wasn't worried, I was just a bit nervous.
It is difficult to meet someone that you have had discussions with for 2 years and don't actually know what they look like or what they are really like.

I imagine that 99.99% of the people that post here and on other coin sites are really nice people.

Then I come along :diablo: :grin: :dance2:

I wasn't nervous about Sel at all ( fear is NOT a big part of my nature).
I was more worried about what he thought of me.

With the recent death of his wife I feel privileged to have been able to take his mind off that awful loss.
If I achieved that just for only a few hours then that makes the day even more worthwhile.

If you do get the opportunity to catch up with this bloke , don't hesitate .
He would have to be one of the most intelligent, honest and caring people I have met in a very long time.
He would have forgotten more about coins than I will ever know.
If everyone else on the forums are at least half the calibre of Sel then I am in very good company indeed.
