By the end of the 90s I'd gamed with well over 2,000 different gamers and was pretty sure I'd double that within the next decade.
That didn't happen. I no longer keep a close count, but I _never_ made it all the way to 3,000 that I can tell (or if I have, only just).
Mainly, getting married and no longer living at conventions made all the difference. 馃槄
Which is to say, I wouldn't change a thing.
