last friday there were a total of 9 chatters, including a very welcome revisit by "Tilt" and one newbie from the west of Toronto Doug using the nickname of "khan". It seems he found his way in by using the /list command in his IRC program I do not know if he was using the recomended mIRC or some other IRC Client. We were able to give him an introduction to the wonderful world of Gordon Lighfoot On-line and we all hope to see him again soon. I was particularly pleased that he not only visited my webring ringmasters page at http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/lightfoot
but also took the trouble to sign my visitor's book. hint hint. Anyway a whole week has since gone by so tonight there will be another session at
9pm EST in Rik's Chat Room accessed either direct through your browser using the Java Applet at http://www.rikschatroom.shorturl.com
or as I will again stress preferably via an IRC client such as mIRC. There are fully illustrated instructions for getting, installing and setting up this program at http://www.mirc.shorturl.com
To try to convince anyone not yet toeing the party line on this subject there is a slightly revised adaptation of Erica's well thought out essay on the following page http://johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT/c...smircessay.htm
Finally everyone very carefully avoided directly discussing the topic of "covers" that I suggested last week.I don't have any other bright ideas for tonight's topic but will suggest that we discuss whether or not we actually need set a topic and if so who is going to take responsibility for thinking one up each week. Tonight I expect the "catman" (Ron) from Melbourne will be in attendance albeit bare backed as no doubt he lost his shirt last week at the races??
