Nothing substantive is being discussed.

That also can be true.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.

I do however use Skype because there is the video connection and I don't have to type. For the same reason I can't understand texting on a cell phone.
I have no problems with using a forum or email, but I have better things to do than sit around telling folks via texts how much air I am breathing in. I don't want people texting me. If you have something you would like to tell me, email me, or call me. We had a young girl killed on the road in front of our house. The girl that hit her car head on was texting. She had been in a wreck 3 weeks earlier caused by her texting. This time a child lost a mother, and this girl goes to prison for a maximum of 6 months. (life is cheap here).
We have become too reliant on cell phones. I have one and I use it for traveling and long distance. I never have used all my minutes but I think it is worth the monthly fee because of its flexibility. I even belong to the AAA so if I need a tire changed guess who will do it.

The bottom line is that YOU HAVE TO SIGN IN.
I strongly suspect that a lot of you all see "Chat [0]" amd sit there like "oh, no one is online". Half the time, when I sign in randomly and just wait, a person is along in a few minutes. the moment 2 or more people are in the room, suddenly people shuffle in.
The worst case scenario is that no one shows up, you sign off after you're done making your posts, and thats it. Atleast if you sign on, people know you're there.
