not making it up, I was there, waiting to talk to Dennis, someone else

the handler's first time doing that.
Water under the bridge though.

I couldn't agree more. Starting with Dennis, everyone has been willing
to share knowledge. I have a memory of Dennis having "handlers" at
Usenix so one person wouldn't eat up all of his time.
That was not true, as much as the community might have intervened if we
thought somebody was a little out of line.* i.e.*, we might have been
protective of him. Dennis was really too nice to have said anything.
