I have, but it was a good thing. As QJ looks to the future we ponder what the site accomplishes. We know the site draws a lot of interest from many who never strike a key to respond themselves but they keep returning. I am wondering how many friendships have started on the forums. A few years ago I shared a program spot at Canoecopia and was amazed at the number of people that were familiar with my canoe life and remember talking to one couple about their trip to WCPP. The wife told me of how her husband followed my stories intently on-line. Never making any contact with me even though it was easy to do. A few years later I was enjoying a beer upon arriving at a WCPP gathering that had been planned on-line with some others. A solo canoe pulled up and a somewhat familiar person got out. I had been stalked all the way into WCPP. "Farmer" and I have become great friends and have shared in numerous trips and private "wingnights."

Never been the "victim" but I have certainly played the part of "stalker". Safe to say I had a man-crush on Kingfisher, admiring him from afar. And, after pestering him with the occasional (and sometimes not so occasional) PM, he saved me from my planned folly of entering WCPP the year after the big blowdown by extending an invite to the Quetico.

To this day the trip remains a highlight of my outdoor adventures. Great guy....... my admiration wasn't misplaced.
