I think you have to consider that not everyone who reads and contributes to this and other prepping sites have the flexibility, time and location to do the meeting-up thing although some of the good words spread on these sites will have sunk in.
For me, I treat this forum as a source of information from people who know a great deal more than me about the issues and practical mitigations to counter them. I joined this site last year and have developed my own plan and implemented most of this now (last stage coming-up soon, to relocate out of the smoke) using the information and advice I found here.
I don't think no-shows at the meets you mention are an indication that people are not listening, there may be a host of reasons they didn't turn-up but they may have taken on-board the message and doing their own thing below the horizon.
Personally I thank you and all the other contributors for the info I have found here from which I selected relevant and achievable practical steps which I have carried-out, but I haven't been to one meet yet.
Many thanks from a silent prepper.
