Actually Mauro met some of us before he had to go. We had four chatters online at one point which is a bit less than the halcyon days but not too shabby. The problem is that the 'opening hours' are a bit long and vague at the moment and my logs show that many people pop in for a few minutes, find nobody else there, and leave again. I would suggest that if you don't find anyone there when you look in that you hang around a bit for the next person to come along :) If someone wants to suggest more specific time(s) or another way of getting together simultaneously I'd be delighted to hear them. Also if anyone wants to use the chat for getting together about any topic at any time that's list related just post an email to the list with your time and topic and use it. The facility is available pretty much 24/7 apart from occasional maintenance. If (for example) the Australians want to have their own time-zone chat just go ahead! -- William T Goodall Mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web : http://www.wtgab.demon.co.uk Blog : http://radio.weblogs.com/0111221/ "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." ~Voltaire. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
