    Mark,

    You “should” find some poor soul who is willing and able to allow call-ins to the Realism seminar via Skype or some such technological wizardry. I might volunteer if I were there, but (luckily?) I’m not. 🙂

    trying to get skype to work as part of an event is one of the most stressful things i’ve ever experienced! never to be repeated.
