Gadget , Patrish-
Sounds like a right honorable thing to do.

Since you are so good at "Administrivia" Gadget, (for example, Number of Rootschatters poll" , co ordinating the Scottish Rootschat meeting next year; etc. ) you could do the same thing here ... (optional days, times, etc.) and see what's best for everyone to "mug" the chatroom would be.

Kerry -
Thanks for the apology. Greatfully accepted. You'll be happy to know the "limp" I acquired the other night after being stuck in the corner is just about gone. Should be completely healed in order to climb halfway up or halfway down to the Scottish Rootschat meeting next year

How "old" do your "iffy" friends have to be. Some of us may be old but not old enough ... you can't teach an old dog new tricks (especially multi tasking) sort of thing. Some of us are old but in age only. And then some of us are just plain old.
I sure the following multitask (chewing gum / tobacco )was a mere oversight.
Small talk ... do you mean using short, little words or good old fashioned "over the fence" gossip.
