In the virtual world we're all wearing wet t-shirts and we all look swell. As one who has been in the chat room several times, I envy those who still have high expectations. Its no big rock candy mountain. Its more like two kids with dixie cups and a string: "I can hear you, can you hear me?"

Maybe we don't need gimmicks but I think a discussion topic would help. Its like replaying those agonizing first 20 minutes of a party again and again. There's been more interaction in this thread than I've ever seen in the chatroom.
