This is something I feel as well, as a blogger. In turn, as a researcher, I'm trying to find why it is that way (in case you decide to wait with blogging about the results - this is coming in the discussion, still half-written at the moment). Bill, thanks for reading :)

I certainly agree with Luis comment, "It was amazing. [...] It was like two old pals talking about KM and picking it up where we have left it in the blogs." That was the feeling on my end and I wrote about it several times and included a picture that I found on Flickr taken at the conference that showed our meeting - see http://billives.typepad.com/portals_and_km/2008/07/luis-suarez-fre.html - where I wrote how "I finally met my long time virtual friend, Luis Suarez at the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston in June." I met a number of long time virtual friends at that conference and, as well as elsewhere and we had a good basis for furthering our conversations. This is one of the joys of blogging. I have met people from as far away form the US as India who have common interests and then eventually met the blogger in person. Euan described his experience with Doc Searls and there is indeed real joy in these encounters that is much stronger, I feel, than with virtual relationships started with other means such as email or the phone. I look forward to more sections and will be writing about this. Thanks, Bill I am really enjoying this series and am honored to be mentioned here and in a prior section.
