Heh ๐Ÿ˜ .666 of a seat ... cute ๐Ÿ˜‚ 

there are of course two other interesting components to this 1. "its the 
network (of people) behind the network.. eg get to know people, meet people, be 
in person (if you can) and build trust by eating with, drinking with, those 
that you can help or they can help you.... 2. if it is streamed and you are 
remote, the "ausnog steam blackout" isn't helpful to anyone.

my perspective, ymmv. 

Cheers,
Terry
