Wouldn't bother me at all,but I'm not sure how large/close your meeting(s) are. I attend a small 8-15 person meeting so everything is seen. The only thing I'd be concerned about is the newcomers thinking you didn't 'care that they were there and sharing' and then not returning. Every meeting is different though.. I stare at holes in the ceiling a lot because I start to lose focus after an 'old timer' tells the same story daily. .
