Here's an article explaining what solipsism means. Basically it means that there's no-one and nothing else out there, and that the whole universe is happening inside my head (except that I haven't got a head really, that's part of the universe that isn't out there...) ("It's all in the mind you know", as the Goons eloquently put it.)

In this context, what I think The Disappointed One (who started this thread, and has since, I trust, gone off somewhere else to play) will have meant was "talking to one self". Which on the assumption that there actually is more than one person posting on the Mudcat isn't really solipsism at all, since in that case we actually are talking to each other, and that ain't what solipsism means, but never mind.
