[SteveC]

See this is what I'm talking about. Why not instead of listing your reasons why it would be impossible, why don't you say "I don't know steve, it might work, let's try it for a week and see what happens?"

If you say that you will be my hero, I'll send you a "I love you bean" and give you a big kiss on stage at SOTM.

How about it?

Yours &c.

Steve

I didn't think that was a good idea, and if my voice was instrumental in "shooting down" that idea then I am awed by my own power.

I would be the last person to oppose it, provided that it is halfway clear what happens with the stuff people write on it. After all we don't want to set up a corporate customer service department full of drones that send preformatted text messages back to everyone, or do we?
