I'd love to come along and meet some of you chaps, but for the Atlantic Ocean. I've been to a bunch of internet meets, organising a good number of them and it's true that they "change the way you think and feel towards life".
I'm like the opposite of Trig, in that I count the people I talk with online as some of my closest acquaintances, so there's nothing like meeting up with them in real life for a chinwag. When I was in the UK I'd pop off all over the country to meet people but now it's rather more complicated that just jumping on a train.
Unfortunate, because I could do with something like this at the moment.
