Does the following context mean "Although there are several examples of such events, what makes Dyer to consider only this certain event in liverpool street as an example of flash mobs, is the fact that this event lasts for a longer time than is expected"?
Context:
There will be more on the theory and practice of flash mobs generally later, but the main reason why the Liverpool Street event was, for Dyer, merely an ‘offshoot’ of the form is the sheer length of its occupation of public space. This far exceeded, and therefore...

Hi I'm guessing, but maybe Dyer is thinking that a flash mob must materialise out of the crowd briefly and then, just as suddenly, disappear again. If it goes on too long, it is a performance, which is a different thing Come to think of it, the clue's in the title: flash mob Dave :-)

@dave_anon Now that I read it another time I guess it may mean "we will talk more about flash mobs in the rest of the book, but regarding the liverpool street event, what makes Dyer to only pay atention to this certain event as a flash mob ( not a real flash mob) is that it lasted for a longer time". What is your idea?!

Hi
I think a main element is that the people who happen to be present (but not taking part) suddenly realise that they are involved and are surprised and happy with that.

Hi Dave,
Thank you so much for the video. it was very interesting. But you did not answer my two important grammar questions. My questions are:
1. In sentence "There will be more on the theory and practice of flash mobs generally later", I can not understand if this "later" is referring to the rest of the book or the time period after the Liverpool street event.

Hi
When your writer says 'there will be more about this later', I think they mean that they are developing the idea of a flash mob but their thoughts won't become clear until later in the book
'Merely' means: this may not be the most important thing about what I am saying: dancing in Liverpool Street station is a good example of people trying to do flash mob; but perhaps it is n
