 I am going to be in Paddington station in 45 minutes, with 2 hours to

 you are going to show up, otherwise I might not be in the pub upstairs.)

I would ... except that I have a cold, am on anti-cold drugs that don't
mix with beer, am out of London (since it isn't during the working
week), and have guests.

Otherwise, I'd be there like a shot.

I think maybe the communication channel is the problem. So sure, there  
are

lots of people on the list but it's a single list. And it's predicated
on people being in front of email. So you need to be multi-channel
for a start. In Amsterdam I had an APB list on my phone that I could  
SMS

and generally procure at least half a dozen for drinks. And there's
that facebook thing. Oh, and twitter, though now they've killed the
SMS's it's less immediate.

Then think cross-network. According to the network graphing doofer
on Facebook I have several main networks: London geeks, musicians
and Avon type people.

In your case you probably have others not on l.pm so they need to be
reached. I'm sure Byzantine historians like beer too.

I guess the answer is no, then.  Damn.  We need more dedication to
beer around here, people.
