It's merely a request for an interview.

It looks more like a collective weblog than a news site.

Given where the invitation landed, it seems to me it's been issued to the Making Light community. Shall we reply? Do we want to have a conversation with The Pakistani Spectator? (And would they be willing to have a conversation with us?)

Absolutely. If they want to post their questions to this thread (or on a new thread provided by the Moderators, if that works better) and solicit answers to their questions from everybody here, why the heck refuse such an interesting opportunity to talk to each other?

As it currently stands, it's hard to tell if this would be "So, er, about this newfangled Web 2.0 thing", or "How do you think blogging can affect the future of Pakistan".

It's an interesting opportunity. The discussion would have to be closely moderated.

Hmmm. I'll have to run this idea past my co-bloggers.

Separate thread, check.

Xeger, I think we're up to whatever they throw at us.

Still collecting reactions.

Sounds good, and possibly even useful for them (!)

While it would be brilliant if they came and interviewed the whole thread "in person", I presume we'll end up mailing select answers back to them. Should we work out a process for selecting particular answers?

This being ML, I propose sonnets at fifty paces. Tiebreakers to be decided by exchange of terrifyingly practical advice for medical, military or knitting emergencies.

But hey, why not?

My perspective is skewed by categorizing uncategorized Wikipedia articles.

I now appreciate the difference between the Indian and Pakistani parts of Punjab and the number of people with biographical articles hailing from Lahore.
