Those are good points.  The Syndicomm forums certainly don't have the
traffic that csa2 has.  I certainly hope that those who were active on
those forums move to csa2 without fear of abrasion.

I don't know how Sean'll work this, but Syndicomm's online chat has
been the reason I'm a member there.  Oh, and I'm also the Real Time
Conference Manager there as well.  Depending on the time of day, we
generally have 5-15 folks there every evening, and more when I get off
my butt and arrange for Apple II celebrity chats.

I've talked to Sheppy about opening up chat to all for the last two
years.  Looks like this year, he and Sean did something about it.  I'm
looking forward to seeing what my hopes return.

I'll admit I'm uneasy after seeing some posts here claiming humor, but
attempting to draw blood instead.  Surely we're past all that animosity
by now.
