No and I'm quite sure that there would be some major surprises and probably disappointments. Years ago, I dealt with a man, by telephone, for many months. I pictured him to be in his 40's, tall, large, with a thick head of black hair and nice looking. His receptionist asked me one day (while I was holding for him) how I would describe him. When I told her, she went into hysterical laughter, saying, everyone thinks that. Let me tell you....he is about 5'3", 120 lbs, very thick glasses, an extremely large nose, completely bald, and in his mid 20's.
Of course it didn't matter and she agreed that EVERYONE loved him because he was so very efficient but.... I'm just saying.

I often think that if i won a huge amount of money,i would pay for whoever wanted to come to Australia, put you all up in a motel in Sydney and then we could spend the day on Sydney Harbour on a beautiful boat and get to know each other.Wouldn't it be fun ?

I'd run interference for you; I like that you don't mince words. Besides, you are going to be the bartender.
Pretty sure no, though in a way it would be really good, it would also take the anonymity away, not that it's a big deal but sometimes good to just have something that is almost a sounding board, or privately away from other things (such as work)

Actually, I was in a conversation the other day about travelling & I immediately thought, wow, it would be so nice to return to the UK and get a personal tour from a QA pal..the same with our Aussie peeps...actually, going anywhere with you guys would be interesting...because you guys are so cool.

And imagine "fish girl" turned "fish fry" ??
Well Bob/PKB. Every time I see your avatar I marvel at how much you look like my step daughter, so maybe we have met. Are you sure you live in Cali?

BTW...pretty stepdaughter!
It wasn't akaQA but I did meet people from the other side of the U.S. from me. We met at Carmel Beach, CA and had a bonfire and read poetry. (You can’t hear anybody’s poetry when the ocean roars and the fire crackles) I hear the party went late into the night but my husband and I went home early. It was a wild bunch ... for poets!
After that first meeting lots of people fell in “love” and traveled to the other side of the U.S. (Florida -The Keys)
akaQA people would be calmer and drink less. (Maybe)

I totally forget that I wrote that. I knew the poet who gave the bon fires perhaps too well.. He lived a mile from me. Those were the daze. Was it ten years ago? Was it five years ago? Was it in another life.
I met these poet people in on-line poetry classes. I know that sounds deadly dull but I swear I have never laughed so hard. Never.
Now I'm kinda old and my shoulder and back keep me close to home but I'm fortunate to have some fun relatives,my daughter and her family live around the corner, a smattering of neighbors, and some old (not THAT old) people from the past (Sadly none of those wild poets) and most of the people who inhabit akaQA are ...so special.
My husband said, "Do you really know the people on akaQA named
Fishlet, Ducky, bulletman,figtree, pythonlover, lambshake, jhharlan,
ed shank, Colleen,Country Bumpkin, ROMOS,TSC,tabber,Bob/PKB.
gooelley loo, Ann, Facebook, Daren, Jersy, mycatsmom,benthere, headlessman,robertgrist, tabber,dowsa, nondeplume,jenn, doolittle,
