There were certainly many directions I could have taken with this analogy & the booze involved:). As always, I appreciate your comments & feedback. And I look forward to buying you several drinks at this "cocktail party" throughout the coming weeks, months & years! Thanks again for your comments! Thanks for your comments, Jen!

It demonstrates how we're all in the same place, having individual discussions that sometimes grow from 2 people to 10. And how every once in awhile you hear useless info, but mostly great stuff from many different people. I've been calling it an online networking event, which is similar. And just like a 3-martini lunch, sometimes people share a little too much or show a side of themselves you wouldn't see otherwise, which keeps it interesting. At least with SM we don't have to worry about ensuring a designated driver back to the office or hangover. I like the World’s Largest Cocktail Party analogy.
