We have added a Chat room help page to the Geostl site. For those that may wish to hold "conversations" without using the maillist, this should be the answer. Chat room help page - http://www.geostl.com/Chatroom.html Look at the link and try it out. Let us know if it answers your questions on getting started or you need some additional informational. This is new to most of us, so we can all learn at the same time. I think Island Dave suggested a weekly "chat" on Thursday's between 9 and 10 PM. Log on tonight and give it a try if you like. The link for the chat room is http://geostl.com/cgi-sys/mchat.cgi?channel=geostl.com . This chat room is available 24/7 to whoever wants to use it, not just on Thursday nights. Rich
