I'll add my two cents here. I travelled half-way around the world for Jonifest 2001, and obviously had never met anyone on the list before. I stayed with several different jmdlers in my travels and never had a bad moment the whole trip (except for the moment I had to leave). There wasn't a single person at Topsfield that I would not have been happy to share a room with - man or woman. We only slept a couple of hours a night anyway - we were all having too much fun to waste time sleeping! Anyone who feels uncomfortable with this, please don't. Trust me, you have NOTHING to worry about! The only thing you're in danger of doing, is making a life-long friend.
