SUBJECT: Why in the hell do we bother having a chatroom?
Sir,
It has come to my attention that the Discord chatroom - that marvel of technology - is being severely underutilized.
[In fact, this came to my attention about two days after it was started, but due to my disability - LAPD (Lazy-Ass Procrastinator Disorder) - I am only now bringing it to your attention. Sorry.]
One would think, with so many folks here who just love to post at the forum, that there would be dozens and dozens who would enjoy talking past each other and misunderstanding what others are saying - which is the very essence of chatroom discourse.
And yet, almost every time I go there, the place is uninhabited. Empty. Deserted. Devoid of corporeal life. A lonely, barren wasteland where...
You get the idea.
It's not that I prefer chat to posting on the forum. I don't. I find it much harder to quickly come up with a smart-ass remark on the fly rather than take my time and think about what it is I'm going to say. I'd much rather mull over my remarks for a time - thus producing the masterpieces of modern literature which my adoring public has come to expect from me.
But I mean, damn! If nobody's going to take advantage of the room, then why have it at all?
Sincerely (more or less),
