Lili: Ok Cease, my misnake
Cease: yeah, coda. i programmed part of that. too bad it's gone. don't know if it'll be replaced.

Cease: hope you're around for Tunnel, coda
Lili: First tunnel in 55 years
Rufus_T_Firetween: Cease you might offer to set up playlists for them, basically take over McIntyre's job
Beet: 'bye coda
Cease: that would be easy for me to do, tween, but i think it's more a financial decision
coda: i will say, one of the suggestions i would make if that were to come back is to not play the same program loop over and over again, the playlist was the same for a good while
Cease: good mcluhan joke there.
coda: some of these firesign chat programs kurt has done over the years would work for programs
coda: allright all, remember, everything you know is wrong
llanwydd: wrong
Cease: i think doc tech is involved with it and he's very busy these days
Rufus_T_Firetween: The new owners of firesigntheatre.com are focusing on monetizing the franchise (not that there's anything wrong with that...)
