For myself, I can't judge what lasting effect it may have. My opinions were already pretty well-formed on the whole topic, so it was a certain amount of preaching to the choir.

sweh downloaded an interview much spoken of on panix.chat, that being Bush vs. Irish TV (requires RealVideo or something that can fake it).

Copiously.
