Before finding you on livejournal I don't remember having any regular contact with you since Sci-Fido II. I would see you every now and then at BayCon or hear about you through another science-fiction fan etc. I think fandom lends itself to the kind of confusion I'm feeling. There are gobs of people that I "know" from fandom and yet see once every year or two. Have a short "catch me up" kind of conversation and don't see again for another year or two.

"bekannten" is a useful concept. I would be happy to be considered a "bekannten" of yours. Thanks
