Thanks for the explanation, Cassy. The one time it did work for me, it
worked well, so I think the problem the other times was more that there was
literally no one else in the room at the time. Even if I were lagged I
should still see someone else listed as present, right? I will try again but
perhaps at a more sociable hour.
