There, I just KNEW I could resist the urge to re-lurk if I put my mind to it!
Thanks for your responses, especially from other 'seasoned' lurkers. Troy, Paul (thanks for your insight into Merchant Prince - I hadn't made the coffee house connection before, but then again, I've never had a great interest in history, just Ray's "historical fiction"!), Barbara (sorry, won't be at Heathrow on the 22nd, although your 'black robe' reference made me smile - and I'm not worried about Jimmy, because he's my friend!), Cameron, and Lani (thanks for the name idea - see below!) - very nice to 'meet' all of you! Not to mention my little trek into London on Monday to see you-know-who, and to purchase a copy of M.E., so that Ray could sign it for me (sorry to those outside the UK)! Ray was rather busy, but I had a very pleasant chat with Eric-the-t-shirt, Barry, and crydee.com-John. I haven't yet had a chance to get far into M.E. (although holiday coming up soon, which is GREAT timing!), but come on John - a mention in the Acknowledgements for both you AND your lovely wife? That's pushing privileges a bit, isn't it?! ;-) And to make you all jealous, I actually got to TOUCH John's "Brown Bomber" copy of Magician. WOOHOO!!! There, I managed to keep it short(-ish) - well, shorter than my first post, at least!

Beware I have purchased the services of Jimmy the Hand, guaranteed to flush out Lurkers. Of course this contract can be annulled after meeting you at Heathrow, copy in hand.
