Hi Jade,
One problem many of us have in chat is that the screen does not automatically refresh when we're in chat. I think it depends on the browser you are using and what settings you have. For example I usually have my browser set not to allow the page to automatically reload but that means that when I'm in chat I only see the text that was there when I arrived - not anything I type or anyone else types after I arrive. A workaround for this is to click on the "change room" button without selecting a new room. This forces a refresh.
Chat is NOT by invitation. It's not that active right now but it has always been open to anyone who wants to come in.
I can't speak to any specific etiquette on babble mail. I never thought about it but I would think that anyone who really didn't want contact could either turn it off or just ignore messages they don't feel like answering. I'd also guess that many people like me signed up with an email account that they don't check frequently so not getting a reply doesn't necessarily mean you are being ignored.
Jane
