   Yeah, in this particular case, it relies on the NC to jump in and manage   
   people who drop out. It's a smallish net, though, and routinely has the same   
   voices, so it's not a huge deal.

    DS> nets.   
      
   As great a utility as it might be, I found NetLogger to be a little lacking in   
   certain areas. Enough so that I wrote my own web app to handle running my   
   weekly net. I've been working on it for about a year, and still have a couple   
   kinks to work out (mainly on the security front), but having something I can   
   run from my phone, tablet, or PC is super slick. (Plus, I can generate reports   
   out of it for the club meeting.)   
      
   If I get it to a point where I'm comfortable putting my name on it, I'll share   
   it here. :)
