Simo, Christian, I see you have not contributed in the debate on Night Calls
in the thread "Disappointed w/City'o'dreams, Night Calls" and "We missed
something, JMS please help us !".
The discussion is on the (apparently lack of) relation between the two parts
of the story (Ben Joseph and the Web site) and on the meaning of the (again
apparently lack of) conclusion. I have no doubt of the quality of JMS
writing, but my feeling at the end of the story was unsatisfaction. I think
that I must have missed something.
As you seem to be satisfied by the story, if you could just add your bit of
wisdom to the thread it could help us to come closer to the truth.

And of course, JMS, if you would be so kind as to take a time to have a look
at that thread and show us the right way, we would be eternally grateful.

Friendly,

Itai.

No, there is no relationship between the two stories, and none was intended. 
The conceit here is a radio drama on the web that gets interrupted by a couple
of guys who've hacked into the system to use it for webphone calls.  There
CAN'T be any relationship because one is just a story, while the other is
"really" happening.

I chose a funny story because it played best counterpoint with the darkness of
what's being portrayed in the intercepts.
