hahaha... no no. that sentence was constructed wrong. I met three ch'ers... but either I, or them, or both disclosed our real id's only when we met. Before that, we had no idea how we looked, or what our real names were... To think about it, they might still have told me some fake name, and I would not know...... wait, that's really sad if that happened.
