Manon,Try and get out to a meeting.I know I don't go to many meetings anymore ,you lose the attachment you get at live meetings.No doubt all of us don't like sharing in front of a crowd. When we get our voicechat meeting up and going I will send you an invitation to join , Monk-Dalin Is one of the members of our group.I know being on voice chat is like a live meeting,you can just listen or you can share it is your option.
