well, we did try that the last time, but we were rather busy talking amongst ourselves, we didn't manage to post very much.

If this is a serious meet then I was trying to imagine at least 10, 20, (hell) 50 personages trying to get a word in edgeways .... if nothing else that little input box'd go flying up it's screen like a rocket trying to break earth's gravity field.......

Guess you have never done alot of IRC chats. But, yes that's the way it is... it takes a bit to get used to it... and also sometimes it takes focus to follow the many threads that occur.

You are correct - I've lived a very sheltered existence ....

Sweetpea · 02-23-2009, 06:31 AM

I sometimes get lost in those IRC chats, so I'll work a bit and get back later

pilotbob · 03-06-2009, 10:05 AM

So... should we shoot for a 10PM eastern "chat" meeting tonight?

<checking calendar>

Sorry, I have a scheduling conflict. As much as I love chatting on MR, I can't type and watch Battlestar Galactica at the same time.

But everyone else can have fun. Are you going try staying on a single topic or just let the typical free flowing MR stream of consciousness occur?

You actually put TV shows on your calendar?

Anyway, that's what TiVo is for!

You guys of course could get started earlier.

TiVo is no good when my phone starts ringing as soon as episode is over. I have friends who like to discuss BSG while the episode is still fresh in our minds. We're completely addicted!

The last BSG episode airs on March 20. And yes, that is on my calendar, but only as a reminder that the episode will start an hour earlier than usual.

Don't worry...I'll probably be so wide awake that I'll get online and chat for a while after the episode. Gees, I'll almost be glad when the series is over so I can go to bed earlier on Friday nights.

I'll be there, but I think I'll have to take a nap first. I've been up since 3:30 AM.

Ok, just don't chat about BSG. I will be TiVoing it. I have no friends so I don't have the same problem that you do.
