skipping most sessions. One of two things happen: 1) You sit there and listen to someone else talk to you, or 2) It's ostensibly a group discussion, but the group is too big and nothing useful gets discussed because you spend too much time listening to 30 different voices. (1) bores me to tears. (2) is basically useless. -Chad ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
