My thoughts exactly, Grace. There are obviously still some bugs in the chat room, but on the occasions it's crashed and burned, I've never yet been saying anything so profound that it was a great loss to whoever I was talking to :-) Usually I just give it a rest for a while and it's back before you know it.

I hope so too, but after the occasion when I found myself *dreaming* about RinkChat after a particularly silly session, I wouldn't be sure of anything. Then again, the fact that I've been half asleep during a lot of these chats has probably added something to the quality of my conversations. :-)
