David - that might be a good approach .
I think another viable approach would be to have a moderator .
But then that smacks of real time - and UT ain't real time.
Perhaps an online chat session ?
How about we schedule an online chat session, here on the UT chat system,
and have Mike and John plus a moderator ?
what are your thoughts ?
