And amazingly you don't need anything called a "bridge" to be set up ahead
of time and fiddled with to get people to call in.  They just...... call
in.  It's like magic.

   I mean how silly would it be if it said we could ONLY meet at Holiday
   Inn?  And only if a certain person was there?  The PM should just be a

   But we need to have the freedom now to actually do things, and the
