[Urbane Guerrilla]

Not much to add from this quarter, except that I think this is a damn fine thread.

I seem to be a "social contexter" in friendmaking, though it's also true I am efficient at it. What I mean by the social context thing is that a great many of my friendships come of shared hobbies, most prominently those folk-of-the-air, the Society for Creative Anachronism. While this bunch of incurable romantics is a fairly big umbrella, I found it a society of people precisely as bloodyminded as myself, neither more nor less -- made a great fit.
