It's good to see this is still around.
Yes, I remember reading my first one, when I was in the Caucasus in early 2009, and wondering just exactly who all of these people were, and marvelling at how many of them seemed to know one another.
Indeed, I recall being astounded at the sheer numbers of posts that some of them appeared to have accumulated - I could never imagine how one could make so many posts.
And, yet, for a variety of reasons, none them foreseen, years later, I find myself in that very same place. How very strange life is, sometimes.
