I agree with this. However, there have been a few virtual KWLUG
meetings where the chat was lively. People asked lots of questions and
traded witty repart�e. My guess is that it was sometimes confusing for
the presenter, but it did make for an event that felt more "live".
(Good Twitch streams sometimes get there too, which is one reason
Twitch works as a platform.)
