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"...
