F you had visited the Newsgroup alt.music.lightfoot at:-
http://www.newsgroup.shorturl.com
this past week you would have found that discussion had been hijacked by the daily haranging and regaling of a soap opera
of the marital affairs of the Bipolar Kentuckian Douglas Crowe (or his alter ego "Cap'n Fishlips") with a troll making a few
quite uncalled for stoopid comments in an "unmagnificent" outpouring.
Last Friday 7 came into the chat room including two of our lady bikers
(Lori and Brink)
There will be another seesion this evening at 9PM EST and we would love to see a few fresh faces so how about it Sheryl and BillW??
Full details are on my web site at:-
http://www.lightfootchat.notlong.com
Note that when that page loads you will be asked to accept the download (actually from my own site) of a small Java Applet
(which is the program(me) that contains the basic chat room format)
Alternatively the IRC (Internet Relay Chat) server I am using (dilexnet.net) also has an applet and there is a link to theirs
on my page. However I have been asked for a simple link to the dilexnet applet for those in a hurry and who do not wish to use the superior
chat client mIRC.So if that is the way you intend to access the chat room please click the following easy-to-remember link:-
http://chatlink.notlong.com
You should then be presented with a sign in screen
.Simply type your preferred nicknmame over where it says
"DilexNET-Guest-number" and then press the "chat!" button and after the applet loads
click the "Gordon Lightfoot" button to join us
If you omit to enter your desired nickname (as Bill Hall regularly does) you will find that you face a barrage of calls to change it from the default "DilexNET-Guest-number"
which is then a simple matter of typing
/nick then a space then the nick you wish to appear as. In fact much hilarity not to say confusion reigns when in light-hearted mood chatters change their nicks willy-nilly
