Sean Wookie has the distinction of being the only forum member I've met in real life, and he is pretty cool. I kind of regret not making a point to hang out with him more during the time we lived only half an hour away from each other. He totally introduced me to geocaching, which I've never done again since, but it is cool to be able to say I've done it. The other day some co-workers were talking about it, and I was able to say, "Yep, I've done a bit of that back in my day." (or something slightly less douchey).

I feel like Sean always played the forum younger brother role. Always coming around asking for advice. I've actually learned a lot from him over the years too, believe it or not. Even somethings that I was able to put into practical use in relating to some of my students back in my old teaching days. I'm glad he has been around, my OT.com experience wouldn't have been the same without him. And I like it when he pops back in and posts new stuff, it's always nice seeing the "faces" of members who have been here as long as, or in this case, longer than me.

The majority of us here in off topic have never contributed anything real to this forum. What of it? I made my own non-Star Wars related preservation once, of which a total of four people over the course of two years wanted (all of which registered just so they could pm me their request and were never heard of again, so it wasn't even a contribution to this community), and I've done a few pay-it-forwards, beyond that, which is nothing, I have no reason to be here if the criteria for being here is being productive and "contributing" to the community.

Oh yeah, and I never even realized he misspelled "wookiee" until just now.
