Eh, I think we got a misunderstanding. :) Maybe "invite" was the wrong
word here. My idea was the following: If we have n food tickets we'll have
to pay for n meals. However, it does not matter *who* uses a food ticket.
So if I skiped a meal and thus have an extra ticket, I can give it to
someone else, so (s)he uses it. This does not raise the overall number of
served meals but still provides some flixibility.
Was that clearer? Or do I misunderstand something myself?
Cheers,
Meike
