Hi all, Unless it is again possible to meet in person I really like the idea of the "social chat" . I'm also looking forward to a next "in person" meeting (my last one was Gran Canaria IIRC :( ).. So it would be really nice to see you all for a virtual coffee somewhere online - and hopefully in the near future again in person. thanks Nyall for this nice idea
