(the group is also a social venue for casual chatting, which means that if you measured how much a goof is impeding other people's use of something... it's not actually going to be very much. the service and motivation for the group is shooting the shit. it's not primarily for official information, or community support, etc. it's small talk. so if the small talk turns goofy for a day, there's not going to be a lot of stuff that people suddenly find themselves frustrated they can't do.)
