The ones that the moderator chose to put through should've appeared in blue text. The plain black text is just fans babbling excitedly to each other.
My experience mirrors most people's at the chat: You can send a stream of questions to the moderator (different from just sending), but the moderator only picks a few of the safest, blandest ones to put up in blue. Sometimes Morrissey doesn't even answer the ones in blue. I asked what he last dreamt about (I dreamt about stew last night), and it appeared in blue. But I don't remember seeing the answer. Maybe it just scrolled on by. Figures that only my silliest questions would get through. I can see why it looks like a his fans are a bunch of idiots. We really aren't! It's just that all of our interesting questions are culled and censored without a chance!

Again, I don't think Morrissey had an inkling of the truly interesting questions out there. Maybe he did and wallowed in the luxury of not having to answer any questions that would be remotely difficult.
Also, just because you don't see Morrissey physically in the KROQ building doesn't mean that you can say he wasn't with us online. What's the point of doing the online thing if he necessarily has to show up at KROQ's offices/studios again?
One response I found very strange was given to my question about why Morrissey agreed to do this online chat session given his previous statements about the internet and the KROQ poll which quite demeaning to him. The response "Morrissey" gave seemed to indicate that he was unaware of KROQ's involvement in the chat and asked if I were Richard Blade. Doh, the utter humiliation of being mistaken for Richard Blade!!
