Since MMario usually has excellent advice to offer, and offered it so helpfully, I took a moment to search up 90 days' worth of threads on relevant topics. (I had not done so till now because I thought the search would be case sensitive, and the idea of searching every possible spelling of every likely title had curled my toes. Fortunately however, the filter is NOT case sensitive.)

With some duplication between words used to filter, there were about a 100 threads titled with [PalTalk] and [HearMe], 35 with [Concert], and 10 with [Song circle]. Of these, the most interesting thread title, which I did open as I would whenever distracted during a search by something interesting-looking, was "Song Circle, Omelette Dinner, & Blues," but it was about a live 3D event in Toledo. I might have gone, too, but it turned out to be in Toledo OREGON, so good thing I read carefully!

Time to read through even the lists of the rest-- do any of us have that much time when the info may or may not be there and the people hosting then may or may not be planning on hosting now or in the near future?

There are seven threads (8 with this one) just in today's list. They contain a lot of confusing information, unless you already have *done* these activities-- not the answers to my questions. For instance, in some threads in past days, people have been saying they will or will not continue to participate or host things. One is left wondering, which ones were venting frustration and which ones meant it?

It IS very confusing.

Katcina, your reply was very helpful. I had not known what your role is until now, and your straightforward reply was clear. I know you can't speak for the other people who are hosting rooms, but if I have a question you can answer I will surely ask. In the meantime, can you tell me more about the ones you host, in terms of the questions I asked, so I will be able to find you in the threads? Or are these only listed in the PalTalk pages-- where will my best source of information be?

Even if those planning to host would simply indicate so, I could get up to date information by searching by name of poster to find threads they've created with whatever title comes to them on any given day. This alone would be more than we know now.

Who was it asked what people call me so they can address me positively? Do you really need to know who you address in order to be positive?

I really do have other stuff to do. I'll check back later.
