Let me just say that you did a fantastic job of taking notes at FAIR. Much better than my scribbling. Great job.
You provided the live feed, I provided a few more details. Seems like a good combo to me.
Wow! Thanks for sharing this is great!

Thanks, ama.
Thanks for the notes. I am new to the Mormon Aplogetic world and I was thinking about preparing a piece for the 2009 conference. These notes were excellent in helping me get a feel for what to do. Thanks again.
