lol... i'm sure your accent's not that bad AmerPosted by Amzer Zo (here)
I did ask Bill if he could get an interview with Steve but didn't get anything back from him yet.
As for myself you wouldn't want me on a skype audio since my voice would send a portion of the female audience into flights of romance in the city of lights while the rest would reach for frying pans, rolling pins or their butcher's knife... as for the males, practically none of them would be able to make out what I am saying with my accent which is as incomprehensible as Steve's for non-Aussie ears... something to consider...
My think on the matter would be to get Steve to join Avalon in the manner of Truman Cash or Simon Parkes in some sort of Q&A thread. Typed words are less emotionally involved and far easier to make out even with pronounced dyslexia / dysorthographia.
But if you don't feel comfortable conducting an interview or feel you won't be able to effectively connect with the audience then we'll have to look at other options.
And. if Bill's not interested or doesn't have the time then I guess we can take that option out of the equeation too.
So, we're left with a couple of alternaives...
One is that Steve joins the forum and contibutes to discussions here as a member, in a similar way to Hourman and Simon (as per your suggestion).
The other is that we find a way to conduct an interview with Steve independently from Bill and Avalon, but with a view to posting the interview here so memebers can listen and discuss afterwards.
I have already asked Steve if he would be interested in joining this forum, but he basically said that while he would like to do that, he didn't feel he had enough spare time to allow him to contribute in a meaningful way... mainly due to his busy sschedule and ongoing commitments with HK.
As such, I think our best (and most viable) option would be to conduct an inteview ourselves via Skybe (or something similar).
Personally, I would love to see either yourself or 9eagle9 (or both) conduct such an interview, but of course I can't force eiteher of you to do something you don't feel comfortable doing.
I would do it myself, although I don't think my level of knowledge/understanding would be sufficient for me to do an interview with Steve any justice.
There are a few other members here who I think have the knowledge and capacity to pull something like this off, but again, I'm not going to (and wouldn't want to) force anyone into a position where they felt obligated to do something they didn't really want to do.
So, at this point I'm just going to throw the question out there to anyone who is interested and thinks they might be up to the challenge. If someone out there thinks they're up to it and are willing to give it a go then I wouild be happy to make the necessary arrangements with Steve so we can make it happen.
