>Unfortunately, I haven't had the good fortune of meeting any of them in person. I was hoping to do so this year in Miami, but, unfortunately, it's going to be Feb. 2001 before I can even consider going to any conferences.

Bummer! Thankfully, my boss recognizes the benefit and lets me out of the office for the week (4 days, anyway). Too bad you can't get away sooner. There's some new (and not-so-new) "faces" here I'd like to meet someday, you included. If you ever make your way to near ChiTown AND have a lunchtime (or beertime <G>) to spare, let me know.
