Beyond yourself, how many others complained?

The speaker should say what format they'd like, otherwise I think an open
forum works best. There are some people who need to be LART'd when they
keep dragging on the talk. How about a "let's move on" system if we have
an open forum?

And I don't mind tangents. I think they are healthy for the discussion and
the group. We have ideas that are almost always interesting to listen to
and share, but like I said, we just need some nurf guns to shoot people
when it is time for us to move on in the talk.
