 True, but there's another factor as well - the ability to work with 
 people face to face. That's why we're having the D conference in August. 
 I hope to be able to meet as many of you as possible then.


Wow... a conference.  Too bad I'll be in Japan, and don't have enough money to
throw at a plane ticket for something I merely would enjoy.

I'm in Tokyo.  We could have our own little D party for two here during 
the conference.  :-)
