[Lowfer] Chat room

Mon, 4 Nov 2002 12:52:08 -0500

The chat room has the advantage of being 'live'.  There is one for shortwave
listeners on StarChat.net (#swl)  thta works well, and has someone in there
most all of the time.  The disadvantage is that it makes it easy to fail to
put stuff into mail lists, where it is a little more permanent, but that
really has not been a problem withh the #swl room.

Most of us on the #swl room have learned to read typo; cause most of us type
in typo.

For anyone who might want to try it, I have created and registered a #lowfer
room on the StarChat.net IRC network.  Use IRC client (I use MIRC, available
from www.mirc.com), connect to any StarChat.net server (I often use the
server Gatorville.TX.US.StarChat.Net).  Once connected, join #lowfer with
the command "/join #lowfer".

If it turns out to be useful, I'll be happy to continue to administer it, or
to turn administration over to one of the Lowfer gurus.  Admin isn't
difficult.
