Jan:

I had a great time: I hope it shows.

Dave Sill:

Exactly.  I enjoy understanding why things are the way they are, and sharing that understanding if I can.

Paul:

I'm not shy.  The reason I never pictured myself in any identifiable way, or featured my photo on the home page, is that gnolls.org isn't about me or what I look like.  I prefer to keep the discussion on the level of ideas and experiences, not on details of my personal appearance or habits.

I actually considered whether I wanted to reveal myself on a video interview, or anywhere else -- but as I'm presenting at AHS 2012, I can't avoid it indefinitely.  And this seemed like a good opportunity for people to get to know me in a less formal and distant setting.

DT:

The T-bone, or the interview?

Sofie:

Glad you enjoyed it!

pam:

I've had readers imagine me as all sorts of things -- including female.  This is fine: as I said, gnolls.org isn't about me or what I look like.

jennifer:

I'm not nearly old enough to pull off the "guru with beard" look, nor burly enough to pull off the "lumberjack" look.  So "gnoll" it is.

It means a lot to me that you find Gryka's story so inspiring...and that it's made a connection with your son.  Feel free to ask questions or otherwise discuss it in the Talk forum.

Jeffrey:

That can happen.

Sean:

Thank you!  I believe the AHS will be quicker about putting up the videos this year, and I'll most certainly let everyone know when mine is available.

DT, Asclepius:

I'm glad you found it worthwhile to watch.

tess:

I'm not inclined to stir up controversy for its own sake -- and Richard respected that.
