Sorry Sam Tilden, I wasn't a founder of AoIR. I just have a big e-mouth. But some bio notes. I was the first keynoter at the first AoIR conference (hosted by Nancy Baym in beautiful Lawrence KS). I was elected to the first AoIR executive committee. I DID found the International Network for Social Network Analysis.
