I've just recently become acquainted with IRC (Internet Relay Chat,
I believe). Been using the server irc.portal.com and have dropped in
on the #VW channel a few times. Sometimes it's quite lively, sometimes
not. A few people stay logged on 24 hrs/ 7 days, but don't always talk,
obviously.

In order not to wind up like Macs and PCs, separate in a common world,
why don't we all stick with this channel, until we get a good reason
to leave? Then we'll all know where to find each other-- those of us
crazy enough to try this instead of having a real life, that is.  :^)
