Well, you could always visit "Plain and Fancy"
http://heritageshoppe.com/cgibin/Ultimate.cgi It's been around a long time, there are a few active posters, but generally we need people to get people talking! Dianne BDS2pds wrote: Is there a good chat somewhere now that about.com has none? |

Message boards do not equal chat. AOL has needlework chat for members, I participate regularly, and getting immediate feedback can be much more fulfilling than message boards tend to be.

And that, of course, is a matter of personal opinion, certainly not
speaking for all those reading this thread. Sometimes, on my board, we actually do rather "chat" in that posts happen quickly. Same as RCTN when an interesting or controversial topic comes up.

Dianne Have you ever been in chat? Chat and message boards are really not even remotely the same thing. Chat is one sentence at a time, many people talking at once, and it's LIVE. Message boards lack the complete spontaneity of a LIVE chat, people usually take a lot more time to consider their words, post long (obviously) messages stating their case. This doesn't happen in chat. I don't care how "quickly" people reply to message boards, it's NOT chat, it's messages. It's like comparing phone calls with emails. Both are forms of communication, but I think most people would agree they aren't the same thing at all.

Nobody said they were. Do you even read before you respond? I'm not a
total idiot, although at times my messages aren't exactly clear. Let he who has not sinned etc. Dianne Caryn wrote: And that, of course, is a matter of personal opinion, certainly not speaking for all those reading this thread.

total idiot, although at times my messages aren't exactly clear. Let he who has not sinned etc. BDS2pds asked: Is there a good chat somewhere now that about.com has none? This was specifically about chat, not message boards. But you said this in response: Well, you could always visit "Plain and Fancy" URL advertisement snipped When I said that message boards did not equal chat, that they lacked the immediacy of chat you said this: And that, of course, is a matter of personal opinion, certainly not speaking for all those reading this thread. Sometimes, on my board, we actually do rather "chat" in that posts happen quickly. Same as RCTN when an interesting or controversial topic comes up. I read EVERY word before I stated this: Have you ever been in chat? Chat and message boards are really not even remotely the same thing. Chat is one sentence at a time, many people talking at once, and it's LIVE. Message boards lack the complete spontaneity of a LIVE chat, people usually take a lot more time to consider their words, post long (obviously) messages stating their case.

Both are forms of communication, but I think most people would agree they aren't the same thing at all. Now you are saying you didn't say they were equal, when you clearly said it was a matter of opinion that they weren't. So what exactly did I misunderstand? She asked about chat, you recommended your own shop's message boards, when I pointed out that they weren't chat, you got upset and told me they were "chat" in that things happened "quickly". Now you are back-pedalling and claiming you didn't say they were the same. I've used your own words in this post, so who's the "sinner"?
