Maybe it would be easier with skype or yahoo chat rather than voice, you can read along in the conversation rather than everyone talking over one another. You could also arrange a time to chat using the Yahoo groups "chat " feathure I know some of you are in the the Yahoo Group Thermomix_Users, or can join, I know the group doesn't do much but it would be an easy way to arrange a date and time then people can log in at theri leisure. I have not used that feature myself before but have belong to yahoo groups that have a regular chat night ( ie: every tuesday at 8:30pm or first and third wednesdays etc )
