2) And now youre taking away my idea, not even asking me if i agree. 
First, this concept of guest speakers began some time ago, and a method to attract them was started last month:
www.abovetopsecret.com...
With survey results here:

After an email exchange with JohnLear, we're working on establishing the following:
1) A formal ATSNN interview. I'm certain some of this thread will factor into the questions.
2) A structured and moderated live chat event. The compelted live-chat transcript will appear as a main site content archive.
3) A structured and moderated discussion format, in a new dedicated forum similar to the Campaign 2004 Issues concept (only specific members can
post/respond).
Any member responsible for inviting a UFO, ET, Conspiracy, Political, or other figure that requires this level of "Special Guest" treatment will
receive a ATS Points award of 25,000 points. (PartyKid just got his) A more formal announcment of this process will be posted soon.
Given the massive response to this one thread, this new format (discussed among staff some time ago) will help our guest and members with a more
useable end-result. Also, and most important, it will help our gests better cope with the massive amount of questions and comments.
This nearly 20-page thread will be closed, as it's now far too long to be useful.
Stay tuned.
