I am afraid that, for those of you who do not know him and are expecting some ranting tyrant, you're going to be rather disappointed. He was soft-spoken, almost difficult to hear, sometimes, it seemed, even rather shy. He made numerous insightful comments on any number of topics, was a pleasant conversationalist, and, in fact, acted like a gentleman in ever instance when I saw or spoke with him. To meet him solely in person, you'd be impressed with his obviously diverse education and background, and rather quiet disposition. As anti-climactic as it may be, he was actually a nice, unassuming fellow with a sense of humor and a pleasant demeanor. Hell, he even had decent table manners.
Given all that Mark has said, I now MORE THAN EVER want to meet Dimitri in person. But let's hear from him. BTW, another private pledge for $20 has come in. Kaching! S a n d y ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
