Meh, I disagree. I initially needed some face-to-face interaction and am so grateful and glad that there were SMART meetings nearby. The facilitator of my meeting was simply there out of the goodness of her heart I believe. She explained how SMART worked, stuck to the topic, and helped new people understand how it worked.
At any rate, Trimpey recalling the whole RR meeting thing is one of the very reasons I don't buy his program hook, line and sinker. He's human, fallible, and very capable of making mistakes in judgement on this...him discontinuing meetings is an example of that IMO. I think maybe amending the guidelines for RR meetings would have been a better solution, personally.
