When I first started coming to the forum there was a post something like, "Where are you?". I tried to look it up in the archives and it's not there. I can remember some of them like: Joel-Virginia, Sheepish-Washington, Hoot-Illinois, Brad and Maggie-Maine, etc. I remember others too, but obviously not all of them. It might be interesting for the new people to see it. It was for me when I was new! Can we do it again? Where are you?
