    How often do I have to repeat this: first non-British non-American apart from Snapcase it is.

    It's not my fault none of you knows it.

    And SnowFire - self centered as it is, it's not that self centered

          Well, IIRC there was only one Amsterdam meeting, I was there, and I met him again a day after he met the Dutch, so that'd still be me, but that's not it.

                    Canadians count as Americans. Amsterdam was in April 2001, when was that London one? But it doesn't matter anyway, since there was no non-native at that meeting. The one I mean took place in August 2001, on the 15th. Please someone remember it before Provost , Spink or Lindley appear

                      Nah, the meeting I reffer to was in August 2001, the only one I've been to, but yes, there were two Canadians and a whole lot of Brits.

                            I think I know the answers to a couple more...

                            The title of Warrax is Chaos Warrior.

                            The last non-British and non-American poster apart from Snapcase to meet Provost Harrison was Taurus, in the Moon Under Water in Manchester last summer. I was there too...
