Maybe next time there can be an IRC server on standby in case it goes kaput again, and throwing the webcast out on a multicast server so we can hear the after-show.

I bet they're still in Skype, wondering "Where did all our listeners get to?".

Oh, it crashed for everyone else, too? I can't get in with either the web applet (never connects) or the Pro applet (never authenticates).
The web applet stopped responding to my chat messages (and d ...

I'd like to call, but for one I don't know how that service-thing works. Do I just dial in through a regular phone? Do I have to dial as if it were long distance? Do I get charged long-distance rates? ...

I don't mind swamp gas myself, personally, but I loathe those pesky UFOs pretending to be swamp gas. Them aliens think they're soo smart, but they ain't foolin' nobody, an' someone out to give 'em wha ...
