Definitely. I didn't think I'd missed any, sorry about that, but its 
only due to copy/paste or form-submit mistakes whilst wrestling with 
MovableType :(. Thanks for the missing list.

To recap, the aim of all this is to help people get to know each other, 
make it easier for newcomers to remember which poster is which, and to 
give us a chance of recognising each other at conferences etc depsite 
having never met in real life before :).

I also updated the new-user welcome email a little while back to include:

"What next?

Well, it would be great if you could send a quick first post to the 
list, telling us all a little about yourself - a paragraph of 250 words 
or so would be great. Please let us know if you do NOT want this to be 
put on the website, or else we'll add it to the People page.

It would help if you used the subject "[meta] Introductions" when you do 
so."
