Regrettably, I joined a bit late -- arriving in Tokyo around 2009 and
leaving in 2011...but it was great to meet people other than my
co-workers :-) .  Oops, is this still a publicly accessible mailing
list?  Doesn't matter...they know who they are.  ;-)

And the exchanges on the mailing list during that 2011 earthquake was
far more sensible than the noise that was happening around me at the
time.  In a world of Reddit and Stackexchange, I'm glad TLUG is
around!

I'm now too far away to join an event, but I'll see if my next visit
to Tokyo will coincide with a TLUG event.  See you all!
