Its funny how you are still angry at how no one rushed to your defense .  the reason I said what I said is Keith if you looked historicly on the board get togethers have been talked about but hasnt happend in the NYC region as far as I know outside of the parties.  You would know that of course if you werent still thinking of a snappy comeback to my last responce at your rather weak attempt at an insult.  Now the HA msg boards also talk of get togethers and I think it did happen once with entertainment however it was for senior contributors to the boards there.  What is probobly easiest is to go to the NYC parties in that I assume you will find like minded people there.  So Keith how about you contribute something meaningful for once or is that hamster wheel of a brain still thinking of that snappy response.  Personally for me if I did attend a real life get together I would probobly want it to be for rrgular contributors as well, but thats just my pov
