Ditto! I don't post about being in chat very much, but I'm there
pretty often (especially on the weekends). As a matter of fact, I'm
going to pop in right tonight and see what's cooking in rfc chat!
Last night, I tuned into chat after 10PM PST and found boli there. If
newbies had the patience to stick around more than a minute or two,
they will usuallysomeone else will pop in after a while.

I'm not advocating tuning into chat and staring at the screen if no
one is there - fer heaven's sake! MULTITASK... I never use a full
screen for any program. Tile your windows so you can see when
someone else comes in.
