Hey Brent,

I'm not nessacarily saying that there should be a third meeting, no.

Well, most of the presentations are recorded at the moment, yeah. I 
would love to say that I can record every single presentation and 
provide it online, because of restrictions due to health, work, etc, I 
can't unfortunately. Sorry about that.

This is why I'm grateful for when people postpone their presentation(s) 
so that I can video it for them. I can give you one example of this 
happening already - Jamie B was going to do a presentation at the July 
meeting, but because of my grandmother's death, I was there, but I 
couldn't video the presentations that night though, and because of this, 
Jamie is postponing his presentation to the August meeting instead - 
just "because he wants to be on TV" (his words IIRC). Thanks Jamie B!

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks,
