Well, it seems like lately there have been a lot of interruptions while a share is taking place in meetings.
I hope we will be more considerate in future. I come to meetings to listen to shares, and sometimes my time is precious. So, when interruptions take place it only makes the meeting longer.
I agree with you. Perhaps we need to remind old and newcomers not to interrupt while another is sharing. I've noticed that often in member's attempts to be kind, if they come in the middle of a share, that they might say: "I'm sorry that I wasn't able to welcome you in the beginning, as I came in the middle of it. But I thank you for your share." after the person is done sharing.
My feeling is that there are alot of new people who are coming to join us, and are just not use to the "chat etiquette" of the meeting. I do notice the ops reminding us of no crosstalk, etc.
Live strong,
Karilynn
