So I've never been sure. Maybe that's because you never had one 
in Australia.

But I think I've watched every single video that's been 
published, since they first began. I've worked in teams (real and 
virtual) before too ;-)

I did specifically say the D 'forum' though.

When you're in person, even in person virtually, 'social 
dynamics' tend to get priortised. Much less so in online forums.

If only we were not 'autonomous existing objects', then there 
would be no tension whatsover.
