And nine years is just the forum. It's definitely been some 10-11 years since I met some of my fellow Leapers who frequent this board. A whole decade.
I can't even begin to say how much I adore you all. Quantum Leap was the first fandom I ever became really active in, and so many of the people I've met over the years have become like a secondary family. I wish I'd had the chance to go to the Con so I could have met you guys face to face. Maybe there will still be a chance in future.
