As many of you already know, I run a web site too for an online community. We also have a chat room and it was generally hit or miss if you found someone in there... which is what I'm finding here on KF too. Anyway, we eventually scheduled one set chat each week so people could fit it into their schedules and that has worked out great... sometimes you'll find folks in the chat at random times, but the turn out for the scheduled chat is 10X...

Anyway, this is just to say, I'd love to chat it up with other KFers. I don't know what would be a good time, but that's something that could be discussed if there's any interest...

NOTE: I did find this from Henry regarding chat: "almost every evening - happy hour!  starting about 8:30 central", so if you come for 'Happy Hour', I'll see you there...

Earlier, earlier... Or your happy hour will be all American. 20:30 is in the middle of the night in Europe. I guess 16:00 - 17:00, even as late as 18:00 will make it possible for us in "the rest of the world" to join.

I find not direction in the readings of those with whom my eccentricities are similar, but rather validation.

My only solace is that I find a peaceful place where I might be resigned to my depriving loneliness.

Yep, there were about 4 of us this morning for a short while. But maybe with a once week thing, we can get a large group of chatters together to see what's new with each other and goad each other into making new loans - not that that doesn't already happen on the forum  Wink !

I have no problem with that...cant always guarantee Ill be there, but I think its a good idea...maybe everyone interested can submit their preferred range of time on specific days--gather them up and designate one or even two times a week when some number of KF will most likely be present in chat.
