First of all, I think the whole 'interactive chatting' concept is just too
much trouble. Not to sound lazy, but I wish I had never said anything about
it. Posting, to me, is good enough, and gives people enough time to reply at
their own pace, and another thing - you don't have to be a fast typist. Of
course WPM isn't really an important concept when chatting, but there are
impatient people that do not like to wait for slow typists (me, for example
:P). The point is, I think it's ridiculous that we try to schedule a chat
when we all know it's not possible. The fact that people don't live in one
time zone or even close to the same time zone makes it even more ridiculous
to suggest a chat.
PS: No offence to anyone, I'm not trying to say anyone is stupid, I'm
basically disrespecting the idea of chatting. Sorry for those who took it
the wrong way.
