I think I've seen the word "chat" used just as often for emails and other forms of typed discussion on the net. It's a valid point I suppose, that some may confuse it with a chat room, but this is a very specialized little corner of the web and anyone that "gets" what Nigel offers here will certainly stay for the merits it has to offer. Anyone else think that the word "chat" only refers to "live" chat?
I'm curious now.
