 * Yes, we did have fun! I hope that you would be able to resolve your issues soon.


 * Thanks, once again, to Chaerani for providing us her wireless network and for being such a marvellous host. Thanks, also, to all those who were able to make it down to the meetup; I really enjoyed our being together. Through our conversations, I got to find out more about you and Wikipedia, and also got to gain some general knowledge.
