I added this table on May 4, and probably spammed the attendees the

Of course, but you cannot be forced to choose 'yes' or 'no' anyway -
I can probably make the field be compulsory, so whoever edits their
personal data is compelled to fill it in, but OTOH I think that now
everybody who enters that area will enter precisely to update this

Yup. BTW, I just remembered I still owe you a simple graph of
arrivals/departures.
I think you should also ask for people to fill in their _definitive_
travel dates. That's vital to us.
...Yes, and I still don't have it :-/
