Umh, I think it was the opposite effect - It was IMO way easier to get
to Edinburgh than anywhere else so far (i.e. in the same city as a
major airport hub - Something neither Oslo, Porto Alegre, Helsinki,
Oaxtepec, Mar del Plata nor Cáceres could say), with cheap flights
from all over Europe, so people didn't really have to think twice
about jumping there for just a day or three. And yes, many people were
just present for a brief couple of days.
Was that better or worse than other occasions? Well, both, as
different factors weigh in :) Many people were swarmed by the amount
of people present. I know I didn't even say 'hi' to many people I'd
have loved to have a conversation with. OTOH, I got to know more
people than what I'd have under other circumstances. Some people I
wanted to work some details with left earlier than what I expected.
Anyway, you might have heard... There is no silver bullet. And bullets
serve very well as spoons. Which also are not.
