    The hell… Why did Brian cut out the part where I said how awesome it was that Scyllacat emailed us such a nitpicky question! I only poke fun at those that I think that are awesome! I loved the fact that we now have an audience that can nitpick the details like that. I am sorry if it offended you, or anyone!

    Crispy: sorry if that didn’t come across in the edited conversation. I also think it’s cool that our audience pays attention enough to catch our mistakes (we must keep them busy).

    I have no problem editing my shows anymore. I simply don’t press record.
