Speak for yourself.  I was a fan for several years before I met anyone, and
that -- my first WSFA meeting in September, 1954 -- came a year before the
first con I attended.   No one "welcomed" me at my first con -- the 1955
Worldcon -- either, but I ended up sharing a room with fans I've known for
all
the years since then, one of whom was Harlan Ellison.

You are completely right, Ted. abd I apologize.  Not everyone IS an arrogant
bully.
