Ah, right, that makes sense. I'll have to give it another listen.

Even know I know this, I still say 谢谢 when I buy groceries in China, or even a bottle of coke at a convenient store...hard habit to break.

You find Sogou.com's too flowery? haha. Ever since I started using Sogou's 搜狗拼音输入法, I haven't used any other. Will check out Google's though.

Hey bababardwan, I only work on ChinesePod, not OpenLanguage. Not sure at the moment who is best to get a problem in the queue with other than any contact information on that site. Have you not been getting any responses?

Interestingly, Mark, these comments here are for a podcast 11 months prior, Nov 15, 2005, and the comments are there as well: http://chinesepod.com/lessons/friends-for-dinner

Oh right! Comments about BBQ are probably not about Pluto...haha. Yeah, that's unfortunate it they don't match up. Hopefully they do post-April 2007 (I still remember at that time when they changed to v3 how everyone was upset...haha)

From what I understand, yet I'm just in IT, is that there are only one advanced or media lesson every two weeks now. Last Media lesson was June 19, exactly 14 days after this lesson which was June 5.

I'm now going to have to listen to this lesson...I really never understood why the change of Pluto's status.

bababardwan, interesting you and Mark are asking about Bazza (I just wrote to Mark in this thread too). I wrote to him and he said he still uses ChinesePod to study, but does it all through the ChinesePod iPhone app.

Hey Mark, interested in why you said these comments were mixed up. We had fixed a few things with commenting, but of course lessons that are pre-2007 (or version 3), which wow, odd to see come up again with the "guest"comments, may be displayed weird. Just curious about why you said that.

But as for Bazza, I actually just this week wrote to him on Facebook wondering also where in the world he has been. I know I was very spotty, even when i started working at ChinesePod, but how can he not write a single message since 2009? Haha. His reply was that he is even still a paying user! Yet he uses the iPhone to get online and study Chinese. Ok, understandable, but seriously, hasn't got on here with a PC or Mac and doesn't even ask a question about the lessons he still studies? I just found that odd, but we all have our reasons. He of course hopes that there will be a community part to the iPhone app.
