I don't believe that I am one of the chit-chaters that you are referrring to however, I have to say that I really don't mind it at all. I love seeing the friendships that have developed between people who have never even met. I too have almost no time to surf the board but have somehow made the time. I have attempted many times to enter the chat room and have been unsuccessful. Of course I access this through my office internet so that may be the reason. Judy
