I’ll be doing another live video chat on Sunday at 15:00 Mountain Time (21:00 UT). I’ll have it all set up an hour or two before hand with a new post, so I’ll just leave you with the countdown clock for now:
About Bad Astronomy
If you went to BadAstronomy.com and found yourself here, never fear: the BA Blog has moved to its new home at Discover Blogs. The original BA site (with the Moon Hoax debunking and all that) is still online, too.
Phil Plait, the creator of Bad Astronomy, is an astronomer, lecturer, and author. After ten years working on Hubble Space Telescope and six more working on astronomy education, he struck out on his own as a writer. He has written two books, dozens of magazine articles, and 12 bazillion blog articles. He is a skeptic, and fights misuses of science as well as praising the wonder of real science.

Cooool. This has become one of the highlights of my weekend. Hope we don’t get invaded again! Any chance of hearing the “TROMBONE OF SCIENCE”? Ok I promise that is the last time I will ask. This time try to remember to hit record before you embark on one of your awesome explanations. They are just to good not to be preserved

Besides the obvious rules of no spamming, trolling, etc. should there be other rules or guidelines?
There can be over a half dozen simultaneous conversations and Phil seemed a bit irritated by the reposting of questions directed to him.
Should such guidelines include the use of font style or font color?
Perhaps only questions directed toward Phil should be in bold or a certain color. Perhaps such questions should just start with “Q4BA “.

As madge said, as long as we don’t get spammed with swastikas, we’ll be perfect.
