 @9e9deb18 I've always wondered how people can chat so much and pay attention to the presentation at the same time? If I'm at a presentation in person then I'm devoting my full attention to the speaker, not "chatting" with other people. But I'm an older dude so maybe my brain just can't handle that much multi-tasking any more. Personally, I tend to just hide the chat completely for all of the reasons you outlined.

Unless of course I want to make a joke. Then you all will read it!
