By the way, we could conduct the interview via email, MSN Messenger, ICQ, or perhaps some other medium if you would like. Contact information will be provided to whoever’s willing to do this. If anyone’s interested, leave a comment to this post and I’ll communicate more with you about this. I’ll probably oblige you in order of …
