Open_events

[mike]

I am struggling to understand why get /2/open_events only returns events for which there are at least three RSVPs.  I would love to present ALL open events to my users - perhaps some of them would join the event.  

Why is this done?

We've found that Meetup's that have 3 or more RSVP's are more likely to be RSVP'd to by others than those that don't. If this restriction is making it harder for you to find interesting Meetups. We can parameterize this number to let you search for events that have less RSVP's.

Yes, it would be very helpful if you parameterized this.  Thanks!
