Then why don't we tweak the schedule to maximize the time spent 
on this stuff?! When pressed, everyone says their favorite part 
is what happens outside the talks... so I say we bring more of 
that inside the talk time too.

I'd be pretty happy if we just experimented with more interactive 
stuff during the talks, like I proposed in my last message. We do 
that kind of stuff at my day job in-person retreats and it is 
pretty successful. (Though I'd prefer to go further away, this 
acts as a kind of compromise position.)
