I was at the speaker registration desk at SD West last week (Software conference in Santa Clara) and the guy taking my registration information saw my FT tag on my laptop bag and he goes "Hey! I haven't seen one of these in YEARS!"
Turned out he was active here many years ago but hasn't traveled or posted in 3-4 years, of course I was a lurker till a couple of years ago, so we never crossed here, but still it was cool to be spotted.
