Liberties:

  • adding sub-headings.
  
  
  
  • correcting spelling in some instances, but not all, and adjusting some punctuation.
  
  
  
  • omitting some, but not all, of the synchronous chat, thus clearing the focus on the main speaker.
  
  
  
  • slightly re-organizing the sequence of some over-lapping chat in merely a few instances — you may regain the original sequence by looking at the time-stamps.
