I'm still pumped about how well this went, so I'll bring it up again.  I think I left out a point or two in the last novel I wrote.

The first thing I wanted to say, which I totally forgot in my previous post, was how much I wanted to thank both Paul Lockwood, Michael Earls, and Doug Turnure. 

• Paul and I officially co-founded this little group but Paul has really been the man with the plan here.  I managed to get up and talk a while, but Paul was the one who took on the responsibilities of bringing food and drinks, designing and printing up sign-in sheets, advertisements, and maps, designing and maintaining the www.AtlantaMobility.net website, and more.  If Paul hadn't been working so hard, I might have broken a sweat.
• Michael Earls provided that ever-important first push (and the second, third, and more).  The whole idea of starting a group was his, and all because he couldn't answer my simple question with a simple answer.  Now I don't even remember what that first question was.  Without his constant focused energy, we'd all be milling about aimlessly.
• What can I say about Doug?  He's the man!  He is the single greatest resource a lone Atlanta geek such as myself could ask for.  He sponsors meetings, brings people to dinners, talks about the newest stuff, and sat in a room with Don Box for 3 months learning this thing called Dot Net so they could teach Microsoft developers how to use it.  If you see Doug on the street, give him a hug.
• I have to thank Brendon Schwartz, my fellow .Net Regular Guy, as well.  If he and I didn't force each other to come to all these Atlanta .Net events, I'd be sitting at home by my self, doing real work and possibly being productive.  But I can't think of a better way to waste my Monday evenings, or better company to waste it with.  Thanks for being EVERYWHERE!

Now that I've thanked some people, I can't remember what else I wanted to say.  So I'll end here with another “Thanks!“
