    We had a microphone glitch the first time we went live today. A number of you went nuts on my staff as a result. If you were among them, please apologize. I rightfully got mad. I will not apologize for being mad at the mistreatment of my team over a technical glitch. (And PS. if you are commenting "ok we get it please move on," you really DON'T get it.
