Pre-1997, I thought I was, well not the *only* one, but one of a handful of people flung
far and wide across the planet. Zamenhof was certainly an influence in high
school. I knew Tolkien had "stuff" in his books, but after numerous restarts, I
never made it more than about 150 pages into the trilogy, and anyways, I didn't
equate that to what I was doing. New job in '97 brought with it a necessity to
get computer marginally literate tout de suite, which led to the Internet,
which led to me trolling via Lycos for Esperanto sites, which led me to Richard
Kennaway's page, and the rest is history.

The analogy, which has come up here many a time, to coming out of the closet is, I think, still
