Eliezer, I noticed two comments you just posted re: "How not to post a meet-up". Perhaps it would be better to write a "How to write a meet-up post?" [Of, if there is, such comments would be more useful as "Don't do X. See meet-up post at <URL>, section Y.]

Eliezer's post looks to me like:

How not to post a meetup:

Don't ask. It doesn't work when you ask.

How to post a meetup:

Pick a time, pick a place, commit to being there with an identifying book (like Demon-Haunted World or something). Worst case, nobody shows up. If anyone prefers meeting in another time or place, they can say so in the comments.

I am not seeing the problem here.
