RaD Man showed up late, and we immediately commenced the "summit". It turned out that one of ACiD's top sysops, Sharp, had literately called that day to RaD Man saying he was in town, and if they wanted to do something. RaD Man said "Oh, yeah" and so Sharp had been pulled into this interview. I made sure (like I always try to do) that Sharp understood what project this was and what it was all about, so he'd be making an informed decision about being a part of it. Since I didn't know who he was, I thought the interview might end up being "the other guys and Sharp", but in fact he was right in there with the rest of them for the whole interview. A truly excellent bonus.
Like all top leaders in a subculture, they had long realized they had more in common with each other than with the rest of the world for what they'd gone through, and would benefit more talking together than against each other.
