Well, I do apologize.
No one knew about them, or worse yet, knew yet didn't report them here.
I just happened to check Pete's site.  He had been very quiet, and 
then....BOOM!
I copied the first, and then realized there were more.  They kept coming!
It wasn't until about the 3rd one that I realized these were re-posts of 
previous interviews.
I thought at first that Pete was interviewing himself!

>It's MUCH, MUCH easier to read them directly from Pete's website.

That, too, is my fault.
I didn't have the time to separate the text of the interviewer from the 
interviewee.
And, the italics don't come across in 'plain text' format.  Also, if you 
send in "rich (html) format, it gets delayed until Paul can review it, and 
for all I know gets booted.

Well, thanks.  When I realized these were previously published interviews, I 
did consider for a good bit if it was worth continuing to post them.
I figured that I should finish what I started.  And, it is good to have in 
the archives.

>(But you're spot-on about needing to trim the old posts in your reply,

Remember the days when people would regularly reply to the digest with a one 
or two line response, and copy the *entire* digest back to the list???
Man, we've come a long way!
