Remember last September?

Well, I just got back from Boskone XXII (the Green Line is *Slow*), and I was
struck by an observation:  many, many fans are *people*.  It didn't really hit
me until I got home and I noticed the contrast between the flat characters
confined to line fragments imprinted on paper in the many little rectangles
packed into my rectangle shelves, and the three dimensional people that had
bustled about me at the con.  True, there were some of those flat characters
at the con too and you could _buy_ *them*, but you couldn't fill all the 
elevators with them.

Has anybody else noticed this also, too?
