Who on Amiga.org have you met in real life?

[XDelusion]

Well I met Petro in Columbus Ohio a few years back.

Saraba and her husband (Caricon?) from #AmigaCafe on IRC, but that has been years ago and I lost touch with them. There have been a few others, but I forget their names as well.

Being born completely deaf and never having the chance to learn language and social skills is very different to losing some of the volume in one of your ears. It also affects the way people act towards you. You may tell people you have trouble hearing and they can raise their voice for you to hear. I tell people I'm deaf and that's the end of the conversation. They get uncomfortable and walk away to find someone else to talk to.

Hugh, I wonder what happened to me, I'm not deaf, yet I'm still socially awkward and people act strange around me...

Anyhow, I'd stick around and talk to ya, I'm not fluent, but I picked up some sign langauge at my previous job.
