Maybe. I can't speak for others, but it is all I can do to keep up with emails and PMs. I'd never get anything done if I was doing IM too. It would be like being on the phone all the time.

You know, you can PM a member and set up IM on the side by exchanging AIM IDs or whatever. You could also set up a time to meet in the chat room. That is still there.

ok. thank you so much jan. i did pm you. reply when you can. no hurry and thanks again...

wiggles, if we did have IM, I would prefer that it be an "opt in" feature. To be honest, I check this site as much as I can, which currently is about 3-4 times per week, but there are days at a stretch where I'm just not able to get online long enough to read the recent posts, and if I had IM I'd feel bad "ignoring" people that I couldn't respond to immediately.

Jan's suggestion of using the chat is a good idea. Maybe you could PM those you wish to speak to and set up a mutual time to meet?

ok. thanks so much.

You can tell who is on if you go to the main menu, it lists our ID's from left to right up below the sites logo. I can see you are on now wiggles.
