Can we trust each other?

[BeardofPants]

Oh yes? I seem to remember a confession or two back in the days when I actually used to use AIM...

[Rían]

A moot convention would be fun! Why oh why isn't one of us filthy rich and could buy out a fabulous hotel and fly everyone there!

I wouldn't give out my address, or even my city, or my last name. I narrow it down to "the northern part of southern California". I think I'm more cautious because I have little kids. I've given my real phone number to one Mooter, and my cell number to a coupla Mooters. I've given my email addy to several Mooters, too (and finally realized my last name was on there, so I took it off).

It's pretty sad that we have to be so cautious, but it's unfortunately a reality that there's weirdos out there.

Valandil could design a Minas Tirith-based mansion for us Mooters to all stay in. We just need the stinking-rich Mooter now...

On another message board I frequent, they've organised several conventions successfully, in the South American area, and there's going to be one in Europe soon too. Hey Aussies, should we organise one? I'm not quite sure I'd want to meet either Cass or Millane, though.

Even your city? I've given out my address, but only to those that I know really well. I can't imagine Eärniel being a 40 + year old hairy paedophile, but if she/he is, ( ), so be it.

Well only a few people know my first name, no-body should know my last, and people only know the city that I live near.

No-body would want to stalk me anyway.

[Radagast The Brown]

Well, I don't give my town name, or last name. I did gave Lin my address, but in hebrew so I'm quite sure she can't read it.

Just because I can't read it doesn't mean I don't know it.

And don't bag my Hebrew knowledge. I still remember some you know.

Oh, the President is stinking rich, is he? Oh Hectorrrrrrrr......

Don't doubt that. Valandil's already caught me doing the same to him.

Actually... if you really want, you can save my address, and print it, and find my town and street, by asking people and pointing on the piece of paper whewre my address is written on!

No you don't. And besides, since I taught you only the first 6 letters - you can only know that my second town name begins with the sound og 'a', 'i', 'e', 'u', or 'o'.

Oh yeah, there's the danger in case I'm in Israel anytime soon.

Bah. Does it really matter whether I can read your address or not? The thing is, I can still send you anything I like, and you can't stop me.

Actually I'm quite a stalker myself... ask Hector. Did I just say that?! Um.... I mean.... *runs*

Edit - oh, Lin, you do know I can see your address when you send me letters and such, right?

Did you know that people generally do not write their address on postcards?

No.

Well.. how should I know, I've never written any postcard, nor recieved one. It's not as common as it is in Australia, I guess. So, you see, I'm not stupid. There is a perfectly explanation.

Yeah, because I'm a forty-year-old guy with really bad breath.

I don't know if you could call it a convention -- there are only three of us. Maybe you could give me Tolkien's Letters as a present.

Ok, I could deal with the 40 year old guy thing, but I just can't get over the bad breath. Argh.

Well, we're the Victorian mooters. Maybe we can get some Sydneysiders too.

Oh? What would your present to me be? Maybe Millane and I'll just gang up on you with Collingwood stuff, eh?

Do you reckon Sydneysiders would come down here to meet *us*?

I already gave you a present, remember? You owe me. If you two gang up on me, I'll whack you with a blue and white handbag.

Nah, I don't even know them that well. I only know of DoLC and luinilwen who frequent threads like the Quote Game. I reckon us three could go to Chadstone Borders, where I'd point and show you the place I got my Letters, while you two regret not getting it there earlier like I told you to.

Oh yeah, then I guess I should also give you a present that is vomit-inducing.

I'd tie you up with my black & white scarf. Do you really have a blue and white handbag? Hmm.

I should probably PM you, but...oh well. I need to spam more. I'm going to Chadstone tomorrow morning. Really. If you want to stalk me there. And I'm going to check Borders again, and if they don't have the Letters I'm going to get ANGRY!

Fine.

No, I don't. I will strenuously deny any rumours that I do. *cough*

[BeardofPants]

Bah, I wouldn't trust you Aussies as far as I'd fling ya. I've seen how you eye up our sheep.

I'm going to Chaddy tomorrow morning too! If you see someone doing their best to resist buying another language book, that'd be me. Freaked out by possiblity of seeing 40 year old man.

It's your own fault you were so late getting Letters when I told you to.
