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.

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. :)
