I used to chat when I had an office job. It was fun and not as distracting as a forum. It was a good way to keep in touch with a couple friends that had moved across the country, and also had office jobs.
We both quit our office jobs at the same time, and I stopped using chat - it seems too inane to be worth sitting down at the computer. I like the online communities for the exchange of ideas, but if I want to get to know someone better, I like to go to private e-mail, phone, and in person if possible.
Besides, the grammar/spelling drives me bonkers. I just can't get past it in chatrooms. "
Are" is spelled with two letters on either side of the "R", dang it!!! [
