Hey all, I'm here to confirm what we already as a collective knew. FPW is The Man!
Met him at Marcon today, where he graciously signed all my books (21!), posed for a picture, and shared some time to talk with a gibbering starstruck fanboy (fan 'senior?') when the queue behind me wasn't occupied. It was great meeting one of the best writers of all-time and having them be so gracious and giving such great fanservice. He even offered to stay past the end of the session to make sure I got my whole collection signed.
I knew from interacting here and on Facebook with FPW, that he was cool, but I was floored with 'how cool' when meeting him in person. Thanks again, sir, for making it such memorable event!
(funny side note...true to my forum handle, my wife's pic of me had the good doctor as you see him here, and my red eyes were flaring...in true Otherness fashion...thank you red-eye software...)

The "Other" Otherness - more of a curmudgeon than inimical when you get right down to it, and definitely less Adversarial.
I also have to give some input on how awesome FPW is to his fans. I recently got some help from him in recovering some rj books to complete my collection and I couldn't be happier and more satisfied. Heis a great dude and takes care of his fans really well. I'm forever grateful for all of the entertainment he has provided for all of us and continues to give. You da meng (in Julio's words)!
