It's worth noting that when the Dutch wikipedia had their symposium last fall, there was a similar effect -- esp. since Waerth came all the way from Thailand to be there.
Minor correction: Waerth had already planned to come to the NL (for the first time in 5 years), and the date of the symposium was chosen to coincide with that. Doesn't change a iota about the fact that it was great meeting him (as well as all those others :-) ) in person.
