Location: Sunshine State, Australia | In other forums that I"ve been associated with, there has been a list at the bottom of how many members are currently online, who they are, and how many 'guests' are lurking.
It's late at night here in Queensland, Australia. I dropped a few posts in tonight and was surprised to get an almost immediate response from a member in the States, where the sun isn't even up yet. I thought you guys would be getting as much beauty sleep as possible. :D
I think it would be interesting to know who's online, and how many of us, at any one time.
What do you think? Al and Miles do a fantastic job running this site and the last thing I want to do is give them more work. Just wondering how much tweaking it would take to set up. |

I've wished for it myself. |

Location: Capital District, NY, USA Minor Outlying Islands | There are two ways to look at this:
It would stink to have everyone else know you lurk on this website, it could look like you don't have a life.
or
It would be great, because then you could send an IM and then get over to the chat room (does it still work?) and then talk about ovations in real time!
Me, I vote to keep it as it as, and if people want to do a chat, then they can post a time and we could all join in. We did this in the past, and it was fun, as my wife says, like a bunch of monkeys talking about bananas. |

Location: closely held secret | Oh, and yes, I could definitely use more beauty sleep. I used to get up early even on weekends, just out of habit. I find as I get older though, 6 hours a night is just not enough and now I tend to sleep in when I can.
With my commute time, going in early gets me home about 5. Overall, it works out better this way. |

Is 'replyer' a proper word? |

(actually I'm impressed as all get out that there isn't a 'Strang' word for reply that would be used to leave us all gonzered up the wonza!  |

I'm afraid you've totally gonzered up my wonza and haven't got a clue what you're wafflin on about.
(PS I like the repliered quip!)
It's now 10am and I should have been at work 2 hours ago. See y'all. |
