Anyone have an odd coincidence with another member on the boards.
I have two:
Back on another board, several years ago, I was talking with another member about Lake Erie (this was when the board was still pretty small, maybe 10-15K members).
I said I was from Toledo when I lived there.
He said he was also from Toledo.
I said well I actually grew up in a small town named Rossford.
He said he did too.
Come to find out, we graduated from the same HS - me four yrs after him.
Never met back then, but have gotten together a few times since - only met because of the boating boards.

2). Met another guy that had already revealed on the boards he was from Erie/Toledo area, and started BS'ing with him, and mutually hijacked each others threads.
We've sat down and broke bread a few times since.
Saw him a few weeks ago, and while having beers and just hanging out, we realize that in the mid/late 90's we actually lived on the same street about a block away from each other. We passed each others houses daily.
- only met because of the boat boards.

Anybody else have something strange like that?
