[18:07] Webmaster: the last chat with the twins was pretty hectic (too many people talking at the same time and asking boring questions). Any plans on improving that? Like chats at Yahoo or AOL, where the chosen questions and "official" replys are clearly marked.
[18:08] Redpepper- Yes. We learned a lot from that chat. We are setting up a system for letting questioners come into the chat in an orderly and controlled fashion. That way everybody can see what's going on but participation will be sequential.
