I tried twice and no-one was there; I think probably its because we're in Europe -- if it's 6:00 here in Switzerland it's still only noon in New York, and a lot of the people on this list are Americans. Also, conlangers have probably just been "popping in" for a minute or so each time -- not finding anyone -- and logging out again, so we always miss each other. Next time I have some time I'll log on and just leave the window open on my screen while I'm working -- when I notice an "anyone here?" appear, I'll answer. Unless somebody (more than one somebody) does that or we set a time, the channel's activity will remain rather "pointillistic"... JJS
