I'm the reason this dude apped.  :wink: 
I met him in the ORG AH where we stuck up a conversation.  I noticed that he said LFGuild in the general channel while we were talking.  So the conversation changed to guilds.  He said that he used to be in one of the top raiding guilds on his former server, and basically stopped playing WOW because it became too much of a time commitment for him at the time.  He asked about FSE, and I told him a bit about us (laid back group of people, previously raiding 20 man content, but mostly PVP at the moment to gear up for BC)  He seemed nice, expressed intrest in FSE, and didn't set off the ASSHOLE alarm.  At that point I had to go, so I directed him to our website for further information.  Apparently he liked what he saw and dropped an application.

ps. I have no idea who he knows :?
