I use it (although I don't regularly post to the list, I am paying
attention). My ICQ is 301929 (No, I'm not leaving out any numbers). I
also use AOL IM (My nick is Phicksur, fixer was already taken) but fail to
see why those would be better than Email. Rarely is everyone on at the
same time, and sending it in Email allows one to consider and edit what
they are saying before they send it.

Now tell me, what was your problem?
