It occurs to me that are those of us who would be interested in talking to each other via Instant Messenger. Chuck and I were talking just this evening and considered how good it would be to be able to talk to others. Mick and I talk from time to time, although I don't hear from him as often when I'm bustin' Rutledge! But mick finds some good in everybody and that's a true virtue.
In any case, if you're interested in conversing with other, just post your Instant Messenger name under this thread. Perhaps, at some point, we could establish our own mIRC.
For me, you can use
THaire23 and
BktBallRef.
