I donāt know anyone from my page, but I do meet other Ratebeerians at festivals and travels. I leave a message at subforums or even contact some people directly. Sometimes it works sometime I get no response. And of course I do know most of the Croatian RB community.
One of my suggestions to improve RB was a list of Ratebeerians who are willing to meet/trade in certain area.
Also itās interesting for me to check how many of next 50 users at the top list are inactive. Was surprised around 30-40% of the 5k+ raters are inactive. Makes me wonder what happened with this people.

I am glad I do not live in āyour worldā where you have to dissect everything to find āhidden meaningsā or find fault with someones ābit of funā.
I posted this thread because I thought it might bring some more people together, I never expected to be taken to task for it mate. The threads are bare enough already with you trying to read something that clearly isnāt there.
Try not to āread between the linesā, but ālisten to the music behind the wordsā.

I think we met briefly at the soft opening of Threes Brewing that was invite only when they had us do tasters and give notes. Obviously that was years ago but I seem to remember that.
Iāve never met anyone on the 400-500 page. Recognize some names from forums though.
You ever heard of a beer called Victory Celebration?

I know we were in the same place at the same timeā¦ In any case, not a proper meet. Next time youāre in the city or something.
I think a brief hello happened but alas thatāll have to do you not sure Iāll be in NYC anytime soon since moved away with no family there.
Planning on it in October for a couple of weeks (though I am from the city originally). Show me around!
No, but it sounds like the sort of beer I would like.

How old was it? Glad it didnāt kill you!
Yes, that was me back in my BA days.
My fish used to really upset the Bros. One of the many reasons I left their site.

That quote was from Will, traquairlover in 2009.
I just bought a bottle from the UK the other day so I am waiting on it. Will quite fancied itā¦1995 vintage. Cheers!

I somehow got given some old bottles of various ages and quality, of a few different beers. I wasnāt into ācobwebsā then, although I sometimes play in a group and have a share these days.
Your friend Will ātraquairloverā was heavily into that sort of thing, no idea what I traded for it?

I just checked your reviews on BA around that time period and found nothing that was American, nothing from Virginia that he could have sent you. You probably gifted him the bottle.
