I tried Paltalk a few times, but then it started putting up those popups asking me to gamble. I hate this - it's like waving bottles of whiskey in front of alcoholics, only worse, since a gambler can just reach for the credit card and *poufff*, the house is gone and the family out on the street. Yuck.

But tell me this and tell me no more. What's the difference between Paltalk and HearMe? Couldn't Mudcat's singsongs default back to HearMe? Or is it something different?
