Weird, checked all mail rules and not one shows a kill for any of Dan's
posts, anyone else seeing ANSWERS to previous posts and NEVER see the
original thread???

I did, not a single person though as you suspected.  It takes a great
deal to run an IRC channel- not to mention the trusted people for Op
status and 24/7 support.  I would,  however, be totally into really
starting one.  Not to ADD to the places one must look,  not to change
anything that has worked well here or any other of the topics discussed
in starting new Cobalt message board or helpful sites BUT for the simple
reason that is impossible to get QUICK help from this most usefull of
lists here on a TIMELY basis FOR ME.

Call me selfish but I average 3 days in seeing my posts.  I have LIVED
on this list for 90 days straight <sad aint it?? lol>!!!  Only the last
30 have I tried posting as I watched to make sure I was posting properly
<whatever that term actually means based on a silly *other* thread>.  I
can't participate because by the time my posts show up it's way too
late.  I dont ask because I dont want to waste any member's time
answering my post from last week when I had to find a solution
elsewhere.

Chat is live and therefore provides a great benefit that MOST OTHER
mediums can't even come close too.  I'm sure there are a few other
people glued to their monitors that would have no problem helping in a
chat room!  Anyone?? Anyone?? Beuller?? Beuller??  Tell me to shove it??
Whatever, Im just so dayum frustrated that I cant use this list
interactively!  Lucky you <to all the people who consistanly show up in
30 minutes from posting and even get a 2nd quick correction/addendum to
their first post>.

100% agree, I guess it's all in "how you say it"..... Smartasses are
rarely appreciated and I'm NOT directing this at anyone......
