Wow Bob!! You've done your homework, as the old saying goes. :) I can't imagine knowing that many fans as you have listed, but I know a few. Thanks for taking the time to do all of this.

Steve

There's a few missing.

For example, we have at least 3 different variations of Lynn I've met at fan events in Timmins. I can't remember all the spellings. But I remember the persons and recognize them in pictures here.

There are also some pictures missing. When I first met the Lynn with the red jacket mountie husband, one of them showed me their wedding picture. It was one of the most gorgeous wedding pics I've ever seen. I think I asked them for a copy of that some time. But don't remember if they ever agreed. I think he came to one of the fan conventions in his uniform. I love that color of red.

Some of those names in my list, I remember from posts or interaction on other message boards. There is partial overlap between the Shania Forums, Shania Boards, STC msg board, and at least a couple others.

That said, I could go thru the member list of the Shania Boards, and remember as many as I do from this STC msg board. Possibly 1/3 would be the same persons, but some would have different user names. I was on the Shania Forums for a while, before I migrated to the Boards, and then to here. My longest list of members I remember, would be from the Shania Forums. However their member list is not available.

Today, I discovered there's some missing also, from the list of motivations that increase the number of a member's posts.

Procrastination.

I love to write, so I tend to indulge in that, when I'm facing a long, uphill task; which in turn, has many other uphill tasks immediately beyond it.

When I was 5-10 years younger and fitter, I enjoyed climbing mountains. I knew that after the preparation was done, it just required one step after another. And those steps often involved rewarding adventure, before the final summit.

On work-like tasks however, preparation seems more intimidating, especially if the reward is too far out of sight in the future.
