Sorry guys, I missed this one. I had my sister and brother and their families in from out of town and spent the day with them on Saturday. Also forgot to update the announcement on the main forum page so some people may not have known about the chat. I'm not sending out email notices anymore since only a small percentage of members were responding.
Sounds like you guys had a great conversation. Two opposing points of view yet the conversation remained professional, respectful, and stuck with scientific principles.
Next time -- I'll be making some changes in the chat sessions for future chats. I'll start using my log analysis software to look at recent traffic patterns to see what days and times have the most visitors. I'll start an unmoderated, weekly chat session at these times using the open topic format. I'd also like to continue the bi-weekly chat sessions w/topic on the weekends, but I'll start requiring members to register to gauge the interest level in a topic, and may cancel these if there is no interest.
Chat Day Poll -- The poll in this thread has been deleted but I have copied it to a sticky
thread of its own to continue to collect day and time preferences.
