we, as a community. Successful meeting does not need personal presence 
of any particular person.

I wish we have ideal place where no participants have issues (with their

do not have such a place.

P.S: There is also other view at the problem - there are cultures that 
do not allow people to express their opinions openly in the list (as 
they are losing credit while complaining). Do we forgive those people?
