Long, long ago,
Catman defined when a
gathering becomes a Do.

SO in sum:
Gathering: 2-12 flyertalkers for a small event like dinner or drinks.
DO: 12 or more people meeting at one central place like a restaurant, with other events during the period of the DO.
It's a lot of fun to look at that 2002 thread, as so many of those posting still are active here. Well, at least one of their identities is.
