Scott: Planet Out AOL Conference[The following conference is the not the "official" one. It is simply a log of the chat, so you don't just have Question/Answer, you have everyone's comments in the chat row as well. As you may notice, the chat row was populated by alt.tv.kids-in-hall posters and we commented on eeevverything. Apologies if you are in the log, but because Planet Out didn't preface questions with the name of who asked them, the log turns out to be a better record of the chat. Also, Planet Out didn't ever officially "start" or "end" the chat, so you get a little of the pre-conference chat. The actual questions to Scott and his answers are in bold, so you can skip our conversation, if you like.] PNO Paige: Starting at 8pm Pacific, 11pm Eastern ScottTmpsn: Hello everyone! Hi Tavie!
