> I like that image, thanks! At house parties, do people feel excluded from those conversations?
-- They shouldn't because in that type of situation, the conversations would be inclusive rather than exclusive. If you were already attending the party, you wouldn't need to be invited to participate in group conversations and social interaction taking place in the various rooms - you would just drop in and out of the various rooms and conversations at your leisure. The thinking behind a house party (at least the house parties I threw) is: the more the merrier; everybody is welcome; come in, make yourself at home, relax, and get to know each other or get caught up with one another.

-- It don't know that it is possible to get there. The circumstances leading to the creation of the 2000 board were, as I understand it, unique. I don't know enough about the 2000 board, but I was under the impression that the members of that particular, restricted board had asked for such a forum to maintain group contact and be able to communicate with each other as a group. So, unless a particular group of posters is asking for such a forum, there would not seem to be a logical reason or a pressing need to create one.Well, that's it for me.
