I'd like to wager a guess of 125, if I may. :)

Good morning everyone.

A few wrapup things from the Q&A.

We had 129 different participants with a note that if you came in two different ways, the system counts you twice but if you bounced in and out with the same address then you are only counted once.

I have a text file of the chats if anyone is interested - with a warning that it runs for 10 pages. Send me a PM and I will get it to you.

If you are having problems viewing the video, download it to your computer. The video only shows the 25 people who were on my screen at any one time.

I wasn't able to make the actual zoom with Matt, but I did download it and watched it last night. I really enjoyed it. It was great to put some faces to the names. Thank all who were involved in making it happen. Your hard work is appreciated!! And a special thanks to Matt and Mike for taking time out of their busy schedules to be with us.

I'm watching this now! I couldn't attend due to my work schedule, but oldjudge (a red herring for Gaffney, who thought he was a judge, haha) gave me a shout-out, so I'm very humbled and was there in spirit with all of you! Even watching it now - what a wonderful community and experience to be a part of. :)
Less cross words, more crosswords.
