I think you may be misinterpreting this quite badly. As you can see
from the current discussion, there is LOTS of interest in this topic.
The problem is in how you are forcing people to participate. Most
folks have a life besides sitting in front of the screen JUST when
they MUST be there to participate.

If you want more participation [and it seems as though you really
don't, the way it is structured] then it would be MUCH better to do
the communication via an email list like this. Then, when someone gets
back from a 3 day business trip [the session you insist he must attend
took place while he was half way to Europe on an airplane], that
person can contribute to the discussion. If you do it this way, it
would seem likely that you would get a lot more participation [which
it seems you do not want].

Many, including me, are reeeeeeally wanting to keep the list!!! Do you
not get that?

IF I have to be at, say the doctors office, at that time, I can't
participate. STOP misinterpreting the motives of people here.

Set up a mailing list for that process...
