If someone is mute, has anxiety issues, privacy issue or medical issue, this can affect their willingness and ability to 'reach for the microphone'. Using IRC or providing a surrogate person to convey their questions would help this situation. That surrogate can be handed a written question or vocally convey a question into the ear. -K -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
