How rude and thoughtless of me…

The chat room is on Undernet, and it’s #straightdope. It’s usually busiest in the evenings. You can use IRC to get on, of if you don’t have IRC, you can use Opal’s handy chat applet, found here: [http://www.fathom.org/teemingmillions/chat.adp](http://www.fathom.org/teemingmillions/chat.adp)

Just type in your name and hit ‘Connect.’

Hope this helps, and hope to see you there!

Agh.

I in no way, shape or form meant to imply that any of the posts I’ve seen on here are anything BUT intelligent and well-though-out and -reasoned. I’m enough of an elitist pig that I wouldn’t have stuck around, much less posted, if they hadn’t been. I’m just saying that I don’t post one-liners.
