    Yes indeed - much better, and much clearer.

    It's clarified in the first line of the first post.
    Honestly some people, are .........
    Sorry I've turned over a new leaf....thank you for finding fault. How would we survive without you.?

    Basically you created clickbait and are miffed it was turned into something slightly less clickbaity.

    Ok interesting analysis. Who knows. There might be some validity in your assessment. Well spotted. Keep up the good vigilance ...

    And even without turning off the camera you can get on with your knitting below the desk! I have done half a jumper (American: sweater) nearly all during Zoom meetings since Christmas.

    Sounds fun! :) ISTM that might be a reasonable thing to do even in sight of the camera.

    OTOH, there are people who've done...other things...within sight of their camera, were seen, got publicized, and in one case lost their job. Waiting, or having a lap blanket, would've avoided a lot of problems. Yikes.

    We had a gentleman at choir practice via Zoom who stood up at one point, apparently forgetting that he wasn't wearing trousers.

    One hopes he forgot.
  • One hopes everyone pretended not to notice, and said gentleman continued on his musical way through the entire session without ever once realizing why he had such a healthy breeze around his nethers.

    Healthy Breeze Around the Nethers would make a great band name.

    Didn't they play last year at the winery in Augusta?

    Love the way you keep giving out scores as if The Ship were some sort of performance - 2 for Humour, 4.5 for Profundity, 3.8 Artistic Impression...

    Here to debate, or here to spectate?
  • Then atheists think we Christians are all the same. We get tarred with the same brush.
    I cannot let that pass without a comment before I read on! Apart from having been a firm believer in God in early life, I and all the other atheists I know personally or am in contact with on forums most certainly do not.
  • Thank you @SusanDoris , and well said!

    I wonder if IH is testing conditions and boundaries? Like shopping for cars, kicking the tires, taking a test drive on a gravel road, etc.

    I think there's also an ITTWACW* aspect.

    You may be right, but I'm not sure that annoying the H&As, and being somewhat rude and/or patronising to other Shipmates, is quite the best way to go about it...

    I do hope it’s not more Zoom meetings. I appreciate that the technology is helpful when needed, and that it is unquestionably needed now, but I simply hate and dread meetings or gatherings via Zoom or similar platforms.

    Zoom meetings are so much more flexible, though. An hour of zoom meeting takes an hour, and I can be anywhere - still at work, at home keeping a weather ear out for the kids, in the hour of gap between two different meetings in other places. An hour of physical meeting takes two hours or so, once you include commute time etc. I do take your point about it being easier to meet in person - easier to read body language, easier to follow people's accents than over zoom, and so on - but for me, the convenience factor is a big one.

    We've had several days in the past few months when Mrs C and I have had simultaneous meetings the same evening, as have the older kids. We couldn't have done that in person, 'cause it would have left the 5-year-old asleep in bed in the house by himself.
  • I'm not a fan of Zoom myself (one-to-one is OK, but I can't handle any more than that!), but Our Place is using it for the Tuesday Lent Study Group.

    As a result, *attendance* at this has trebled...partly due to the fact that people don't have to leave the warmth of their own home in order to sit on a hard chair in a cold Vestry!

    I agree. I just thought that might explain what's going on with IH.
  • Quite so. Time will tell...
    :wink:
  • Come on back on track please. We've gone way off course here.

  • @Leorning Cniht, I’m not denying the advantages of Zoom meetings at all. I see the advantages. I’m just saying that despite those advantages, I dislike Zoom meetings and would always prefer a less convenient in-person meeting to a more-convenient virtual meeting. I get that others feel differently and I can understand why they do. For me, those those advantages and conveniences, not to mention necessity, are reasons to tolerate them despite my dislike of them.
