Cool deal.. We should do lunch. I work in Pleasanton.

Oh wait.. meeting stranger from Usenet named the Psyko.

Bad idea.

Never mind.

:-D

I know you're just joking, but it cracks me up how paranoid many
people are about physically meeting someone that they met on the
internet, as though anyone that uses the internet must surely be a
boogie-man. They'll sit down and strike up a conversation with a
perfect stranger on the subway but freak at the idea of meeting a net
buddy. Is there any difference? In reality, which is more dangerous?
People can be really kooky.
