Yes exactly. I've had this page up in a browser for many years, most of the time with only two other people. I have no idea who they are, no way to communicate with them, but feel very connected in a strange way.
OMG, you! I just guffawed in real life at my desk here. I mentioned in another comment here[0] how I've checked off and on through the years and wondered who could possibly be keeping this page open and why. Thanks for re-posting this, it's too funny to hear from one of you guys.
