I don't think we're in a "tiny minority," CG. I don't, repeat, don't think it was worthwhile.

What I DO think is that, the effort should be applauded. Every thing has growing pains, and FT *tried* (I think) to make something worthwhile happen.

However, in NO WAY do I personally believe (just my opinion) that this was a success. It was one of the worrse cases of fluff and spin control that I have lately witnessed. What I would REALLY, REALLY, like, is a transcript not of the chat, but of the QUESTIONS SUBMITTED BUT NEVER USED IN THE CHAT!!!!

I am trying to be objective here, and not succeeding, I know. I am only saying that FT deserves thanks for the forum, not necessarily in how it was conducted.

No, let me ammend that. The way it was conducted SUCKED.

OK?
