There's no need to apologise ... it's perfectly reasonable that you should say something short and clear, but not in complete depth. Your elaboration gives me useful information ... thank you.

It does sound like it was a real issue ... have you provided feedback to Gather.Town? Perhaps it is related to the speaker being across the globe, and they could find that useful, even if anecdotal. It's still a data point, pointing at a potential underlying problem.

Regardless, thanks for the reply. (and NRN)
