of the matter is that they didn't care enough to come. Now maybe the next
time they would feel differently -- care more. Make the necessary
arrangements, or sacrifices!  But for this particular Open Space -- those
who care came. And CARING is the sole criteria for entry. That alone makes
them the "right people." No Caring -- no come...

something they don't care about?

We have been through this before, Harrison. I find it judgmental (being
judgmental myself, I know judgment when I see it :-)) How about changing
it to: "Those who felt invited, came"?
