Have you ever actually tried it? I know this seems simple to "solve" with technology, but put 50 people in a room having a heated conversation (or sometimes several conversations at once) and then try to bridge some people in via phone, video conference, whatever and see how it works out in reality. The times it's been tried, either the remote participants get frustrated because nobody is paying attention to them/speaking into microphones/keeping discussion to one thread at a time, or the in-person participants get frustrated because they have to start acting like they're all on separate telephones and drag down the bandwidth of the conversation to the point where it may as well be 100% remote/separate participation anyway. We've made it work to varying degrees in the past, but it's not so simple as you would seem to imply no matter how good the technology. -- Jeremy Stanley
