Ruth.....

I found the SITE to be very interesting and one of the best designed, most
information-laden Web sites I've yet to come across.  But I gotta say that you
are SO right about their chats.... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ <grin>

As a matter of fact, when I logged into their chat (and I don't just breeze
into a strange chat, babbling all over the place!  I always say "Hi," then
keep a pretty low profile till I am assured I won't be interrupting an ongoing
discussion).  WOWIE!  The Third Age chatters just rolled right on over with
one "hello" from the host.  As I took in the conversation, it was SO banal,
and SO clique-like that I - who's not at all shy...felt like I'd be pushing
myself into a chat where I was truly unwelcome merely because I wasn't already
an active member of their group.  And if I WAS welcome to join the chat, I'd
have soon dozed off! <grin>

Gotta tell ya, this was very insular group!
