It's not easy to answer this question.

We tried to eliminate duplicates as much as possible. Unique names were 
computed by also taking into account IP addresses, stripping off the 
"_1234" suffix that Meetecho automatically adds when a username is 
already picked, and some other parameters. But it's still possible that 
you were counted more than once.

We believe this can give a fairly realistic flavor of remote attendance 
figures. Of course, if we mandate the use of the Registration ID, we can 
easily have the real numbers...
