> Try logging on to this forum at different hours of the day and night and you will find a whole different group of posters. You need to use the "Recent Messages" feature to get the full impact of this. For example, the Brits are more active when it's early morning here in Tennessee. That's because it's mid-day over there. Then if I stay up late, the Aussies show up.

I guess that's probably because so many Rinkies are old and have jobs. Me, on summer vacation, I post whenever I can drag myself out of bed, or whatever time late at night I have kept myself up to. Today I happen to have been dragged out of bed kicking and screaming at 7 o'clock, so I'm right with the Brits. My last post was late at night because I was bored and Rinkchat was slow, so I was with the Aussies. I must admit though, I usually check the Forum at about noon, after I get my sister from summer school. So you've got me there.

I don't think I've ever chatted with anyone from Africa or South America. There's still a lot of European and Asian countries I have not chatted with either. I was told by friends who chat in more rooms than me that Chinese people really hate Americans. Does anyone know if that is true? Just curious.
