I agree.  And I think that was precisely one of Jesus' points when he spoke those words.

Sorry I missed the meet-up.  I'm just now sticking my head up out of the trenches after a crazy work week.  Sounds like everyone had a good time and enjoyed both the company and the conversation.

Depending on the actual date, I may be able to attend.  I'm in South Minneapolis just across the river from Highland Park.

Thank you!  I'm using Firefox so I will give this a try on tonight's chat.

The live chat is indeed a great feature for members. 

I do have a question for other members regarding the live chat:  is there any way to resize the chat window to something more approaching full screen?  I’m wondering if that feature is there and I’ve simply missed it.

The chat is often scrolling by so quickly it’s a challenge to track the conversation and even when I attempt to use the scroll bar it keeps bouncing around due to all the new entries being added.  I think that having a larger chat window (vertically) would help alleviate this issue.

Succinct, clear, and powerful.

Brian, you have my word that I’m a real person and here’s my comment:

Just finished listening and this was indeed a great HWX episode.  So much so that I think you and John have earned another well-deserved break  ;-)

I was a regular listener to the previous weekly radio incarnation of HWX and was very glad when you reappeared on Ricochet in podcast format.  Any way you could arrange a guest appearance from Victor in St. Paul for a future episode? I miss his impassioned calls for congressional fistfights.

If I can only keep them distracted through November... Hey, look over here!  War on Women!  Dogs!  Student loans!

I’ll add my voice to the chorus of appreciation here.  I’ve lurked for quite a while but haven’t posted yet.  I initially found Ricochet after following a strand here from somewhere within the web of Lileks’ digital media empire.  Thoroughly enjoy the podcasts and the wide range of intelligent, insightful, and courteous discussion.  Ricochet has given me a slew of new intelligent imaginary friends (imaginary perhaps until meeting them in person at a Meet Up) to check in with every day.  Thank you!
