Well, no!  I've talked to lots of them in the past two and a half years,
face to face and even sometimes on the phone.  But for that you all have to
get in those vans of yours and drive them out into the wild blue yonder and
meet other vanagonauts!  It's a great thing to do, lots of nice folks when
you meet them in person.  Oh, yeah, and a few weirdos - but hey, you can
tell that from cyberspace!
