I would love to go to a party to which you would all be invited, to
partake of a few bevvies, alcoholic or not and to discuss the various
differences of opinion which would ensue.
To see and hear each arguing their case for whatever, would be a
wonderful experience.
I reckon a room for about 60 would be big enough, but it would have to
well padded to avoid accidents etc.
The fun we could have!!!
We could have a mini referendum on Brexit, we could talk for hours about
our differences and listen patiently to each others theories about
anything and everything.
In between Brexit we could talk about removing tap washers, painting
baths, and all manner of delightful and wondrous things.
The physicality of it all would be enormous, see you all at the shed?

have it here & you could see the things that supposedly couldn't possibly work but do. Not sure I'd want to discuss politics though! Nor trivial troll-y details of diy stuff.

Many years ago, I had a job where I often had to translate between Texan

Like radio, newsgroup contributors are best kept invisible to the
others. Sometimes, it is an unnerving experience to see the
real radio voice in print or on screen, when your long-held visual
perception turns out to be completely wrong.

And anyway, don't people use facetime, or other means to 'see'
the other person ?.

I once attended a meet arranged on an email list of its members.

Never again!

Some folk that seem quite normal by email were real weirdos in the flesh.

Only time I do that is when I need to see something being discussed
or when his 3 year old needs to show me his latest car etc.

I have met 4 current and past posters to this group. They all seemed to
be normal if above average intelligence and verging on entrepreneurship.

My single experience of news group meets was that it coincided with the
topic becoming moribund. This was a polite group without the freely
traded insults found here!

I've met two recently (two of the Tims). I have met others when they were

Yes - in the early days I met up with a few from here at one of the tools
fares in the area. Perfectly normal bunch of blokes.

In those day the insults were over wwether a combi (or two) were a better
