I was just thinking that it would probably be good to have a forum that act's a bit like a Function room.

Namely if some renound individual (scientist/scholar etc) is asked to visit the forum for a day (Like a broadcast time)

The run up to this person could have people post questions to the individual, and allow them the chance to answer some of their questions.

Perhaps then some of our discussions that get a little too fanciful could have someone we revere put their points in, and point us on the right track.

The obvious problem with that is in convincing famous people that they want to visit here.

"famous" is mostly not equal "smart"

Thanks. But I'm not sure I'll have time to help out. :D

And besides, that approach doesn't work anyway.
