Hey Flilp Flop. A request... Feel free to ignore I guess... But I'd just like to say...
It feels rather odd to see one person in Babblechat fairly constantly... But not really chatting in Babblechat. You go in because you see someone is logged in and then you discover that the person isn't there chatting at all. Just logged in. I've started ignoring the one person in chat indicator because I figure it is you and you are fairly much always logged in and I've never seen you chatting at all. Your being logged in all the time also means that fragments of previous conversations stay up after the posters who were participating in the discussion have left.
So I guess I have a request... Please could you log out of chat if you aren't chatting?
It is of course a free Babble chat place and so you can do whatever you want... I just wanted to say that I personally found it a little odd... Or disconcerting... Or something...
I guess you are on a all you can use internet package but just in case you aren't... You will probably save a little money too...
Or maybe... You are sitting in front of your computer enjoying reading what people take to be conversations between certain posters. I mean sure I know people know new parties can join at any point... But still... The notion of a chat lurker who doesn't participate particularly is a little disconcerting for me...
Bob? Can flip flop be timed out like other posters seem to be if they have a period of inactivity.Nothing personal Flip flop, I'd love to chat to you. Well... i'd love to chat with you. I've been chatting at you a fair bit. lol.
