Going over tfurrows summary, I realized a couple of things:
1. We skipped question #12.
2. The answer to question #5, "Is it generally sold as a single piece?" should
be "I can't answer" rather than the "No" I gave.
I apologize for the confusion. Let's set the question count back by 1 for the
miscount and 2 more for the bad answer, which makes the last question ...
Q16: Is it an herb?
A16: No

(I am interpreting "western" as "American" since I don't have much experience
with grocery stores other than in the US and Japan.)
A17: Yes

18. Is it a root? ............................................... No
19. Is it an egg? ............................................... No

I guess I could have answered question 9 "Yes". I interpreted the question
to be asking whether or not one normally ate the whole thing in one sitting,
but it is true that you do eat the whole thing, including the skin/crust.
Hope that ambiguity didn't throw you.
That was more difficult than I thought it would be.

Would there be a problem if we started a new conference item for each game
round? I think it would make reviewing questions in the crrent round a lot
easier.

Is creating a new conference something cross would have to do?

tfurrows, congratulations on response #200!
I think it is correct that only cross or another admin can create a new
conference. I'm not sure whether he wants to bother with changes to Backtalk.
I was thinking of starting the next 20 Questions round as a new item in the
Agora conference.
Anyone think it would be good to have a copy of the games on Gopher?

I think gopher would be a lot of fun... what about script-based, interactive,
so the gopher audience could take part in the fun? Not a copy I guess, but
move the thing over to gopher and try it out there?

Giving people an alternative to Backtalk for accessing the game is what
gave me the Gopher idea. I was thinking of mirroring the BT posts by
hand to my gopherhole and accepting questions on either BT or by e-mail.
A Gopher-based app might be an interesting challenge. I wonder if the
BT API would allow Gopher to generate BT posts rather than the other
way around.

I vote for papa, and tfurrows to be granted some admin privilages for running
thier own conferences, and maintaining the gopher server, in line with
Grex.org policy.

Sure; that seems reasonable. Conferences can be created for folks, and
I certainly don't mind handing over gopher admin rights to some folks.
