You (both) are right, on hindsight I'd say my original letter was
quite naive. After I sent it I was actually a little scared of
angering somebody, but I preferred to have something to regret having
done than not having done.

I will look into that!.

<grin /> That would be fun to do, though difficult to make happen.
But if I manage to go one day, Boud will have to make sure to hold an
RPG table, right, right? :D (just joking, but that'd be great).
Needless to say I'm going to take this fine advice and stay around,
there's much to share and work to do.
And many thanks for these good spirited answers, this welcoming
environment is what I think is Krita's greatest strength, you can't go
wrong with that!.
