That was fun, but one of the reasons I stopped doing that was because a lot of the questions were mundane like "what's the shoe size of a Covenant sailor?"... who cares? That's the kind of questions you often get asked. Also, the seemingly minor little detail you'd reveal that, at the time, was perfectly accurate or that was "no one's ever going to touch this again"... well guess what, somebody wants to do a book about it and you're like "we didn't think you were ever going to do anything with that!""
