There is only one other person present, and knock me down and call me Sharon, if it isn't the familiar bearded face of Jimmy Wales out of Wikipedia. I am taken somewhat aback, mainly because he isn't in his familiar website pose, for eg holding up a banner and asking for money.
I make a point of apologising to him for misquoting something he said Several years ago in a report. Generously, he does not remember, but forgives me anyway, beseeching me to get my prostrate form up off the carpet before I make the knees of my cheap, shiny suit even more cheap and shinier.

Journalist: Do I call you 'founder' or 'co-founder' of Wikipedia?
Jimbo: I like to say 'founder', but other people may say otherwise.
Me: [citation needed]
Jimbo: LOL
Realising that this is the high water mark of my life, I flee
