Good news at DU! Skinner just pm'd me that we're all going to voice in real time.

All posts and responses will be in real time with the poster's own voice, spoken in words, rather than typed. No more reading! We can all just talk and shout and cuss at each other just like a big ole conference call. Isn't that great?

GD will be like the bar scene in Blues Brothers, where they throw beer bottles at the chicken wire. Yay!

Now we'll get to hear what our fellow DU buds actually sound like. And the background noises will be classic. This is so cool! We just have to kick in a few bucks each for the hardware and then it's a go! I'm so excited.

Guess I'll be 'talking' with you soon.

1. Hmm. So essentially, we are turning into a typical Fox News program?

6. He said that there'll be a filter for that.

And for all the extraneous sexual sounds that might somehow permeate their way into the conversation.

7. I'll be the voice that keeps typing and clicking over the noise of everything else

from people shouting, arguing, listening to music, fans blowing, dogs barking, people fighting, phones ringing, ac blowing, doorbells ringing, etc.
