Rob,

I know you meant well by this, but please, NEVER encourage anyone to
do their not-accepted long talk as a lightning talk.  It simply won't
fit in the time allotted, and makes the speaker look like a desperate
fool.  A lightning talk is a completely different beast from any other
kind, and is something you write from the ground up as a lightning
talk.

Cheers,
David.
