But they're both germane to the discussion.
Which of the following would qualify as name-dropping, and under what
context would each one *not* qualify as mere name-dropping:
1) Dan was in line with Sandra Bullock at the cable company office once
and chatted with her for a few minutes.
2) I went to a party at Bruce Sterling's house once.
3) I was at a party with Teddy Havaria this past Saturday evening. He
brought his Hugo award that he just won, and he passed it around.
4) I went to church at Elizabeth Moon's church one Sunday.
