Maybe I should add that my comments weren't directed towards the part of
your post about getting to know the people you're working with. I've
always found it an excellent idea to have the rest of the team meet the
job candidate, no matter which side of the interview table I'm sitting
on. What I should have said in my original post is that there are other
ways to meet the team.

However, I'm glad that the risk paid off for you with a dream job.
