I suspect that timing has a lot to do with it. In my experience, August is a really slow time for internet interaction, and many people in the northern hemisphere are on vacation, or preparing for vacation, or getting back from vacation. Add to that that Saturday afternoons are when working folk get all their shopping and errands done, and there is a problem being able to attend.

I attended the chat, and wish to thank you for it. It was the first that I had been able to attend in a while.
