I'm having trouble focusing on wheteher this thread is supposed to be humerous or serious.

I think the gatherings we've had lately do show a tedency to be regional for obvious reasons. And the UK contingent have more gatherings than we do in the States.

We tried to overcome that regionalization in the Manchester gatherings where we met in Manchester, New Hampshire, and Manchester, UK, at the same time and tried to hook the two parties together. Unfortunately the UK group couldn't come up with a laptop and the connection failed so we in the US shared music with individual members from the UK to Oz over Paltalk.

If we have regionalized it is a large region encompassing a hemisphere and a half!
