Seriously?  I'd probably have to put an ad in the newspaper looking for a local bitcointalk friend with a Hero member account, and there would probably be a lot of driving involved if we decided to meet up for coffee.  How do all of you people have these friends who are members here?  I just don't get it.

Jr. members do a lot of spamming, because where there's one Jr. member account there are probably 20 alt accounts at the same rank.  For the past couple of years or so, this trend has exploded because of all these shitty altcoin bounties (and some legitimate bitcoin-paying signature campaigns).  I would entreat OP to read some posts in Bitcoin/Altcoin Discussion and see how much of it is spam, and how many posts come from low-ranked members.

I would discourage anyone from getting involved in a signature campaign immediately.  There are a lot of members who are ignorant about bitcoin and really have nothing useful to say--and at the same time, they have to make X number of posts per week, and the result is mountains of crapola.  Not that I expect you to even read this advice, but I would suggest OP do some reading here first and less posting.  And much, much less thread-starting.
