Yes I'll change it because it doesn't really matter to me one way or the other, because I agree some people may misinterpret what "chat" means in todays online world. Funny, I thought chat was casual conversation which is always going to be true and will continue to exist even without computers and the Internet. But because we are using computers on the Internet here I agree I will try to avoid misunderstandings by using a term that is less likely to be misunderstood .... well for now at least.

While it has been suggested on the forum that live chat would be a good thing I tend to disgree. The main reason being that once it has passed only those present at the time will ever see it. I prefer "chat" ( excuse the term please ) to be a permanent document that everyone can read and participate in irregardless of the time zone they are in.

So I'll change the word "chat" to read "general discussion" which is much shorter and more concise ..... NOT.

Nigel,

I wouldn't loose any sleep over the nomenclature. Where Semilive hails from they spend a lot of time "Jawin'" about things. When I lived in Texas, they had a different expression that represented conversation, and out in Spokane, Washington, where I lived for three years, they brought home the groceries in a "Poke." I believe everyone knew what the link referred to.

Thanks again for your dilligent efforts and devotion to keeping the site active,

Gary

It's no big deal for sure, but I must agree with Semi--"chat" on the internet usually refers to real-time, live exchanges, thus the term "chat room".
