Please don't take it so hard. It's just normal artifact of a club 
meeting that requires no RSVP.

In Herzelinux we've just had two very interesting lectures, one three 
weeks after the other:  6 people showed up to the first and over 25 to 
the second (we ran out of chairs in the room...). It just depends on a 
bazillion things going on in people's life. Maybe there was a good 
soccer match yesterday :-)

I'd suggest adding an RSVP option to meetings and only doing the meeting 
if enough people RSVP but I sort of doubt that this will work...

	Reinette: What do monsters have nightmares about?
	The Doctor: Me!
