<B>Russ: would you consider joining our "censorship &c" panel? You are only on of two I am specifically inviting.

It depends on details; I'm still not clear on how this "panel" is actually working? Email discussion? Forum thread? Online chat? Phone call? ESP? (Ok, I'll stop enumerating possibilities now.)<P>I don't do online chat or ESP. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif">

Ok, as long as someone can tell me an easy way to do the chat, I'm in. Just pretend I'm a complete ignoramus about chat and have never used irc/icq/whatever, because it's true. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P><P>------------------

i've got zero experience with online chat and no real interest in learning and installing yet another timesink on my computer. <IMG SRC="http://www.keenspace.com/forums/smile.gif"><P>if we do this as chat, can we do it at some prefab chatroom like egroups so I needn't delve into the mysteries of irc etc?<P><P>------------------

Russ,<P>You could use an online messenger service like ICQ. It also has an online chatroom function.<P>

[PDI]

online chat is the best option, provided we can get the whole panel online at the same time.<P><P>------------------

"Truth hides on the other side of a two-way mirror
In countless documents sent straight to the shredder
That might finally give us the whole of the picture
But until the day we decide to dig a little deeper
We know that truth will hide
Under fallen rocks and stones
At the end of a disconnected phone
Down an unmarked street
And buried, deep beneath your feet."

</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Thanks for the invite, in all sincerity, but truly I already spend more time online than I want to... maybe Scott's panel interview chat thingie will suddenly addict me to chat, but I hope not.<P>And my online time will soon be reduced more as I've just got a new job, woohoo!

You know, so I can buy presents for all my forum posters, or something. Or maybe I'll just pay for my mortgage and food and stuff.<P>

As I understood it irc.dal.net was still darned popular and that Sporky had given up #webcomics for #comicstrips.<P>And by now I've certainly noticed that I'm not one of the cool kids. I'm not even one of the New Kids on the Block.<P>------------------
