Java Chat???

Zoo?  I'll have you know that I am a domestic cat, not a zoo cat!?!  As for java talk, I prefer espress, Illy brand, of course!

interesting...i have debated with this before and never really came upon a decision...what does everyone else think?

I guess in a perfect world it would be great to have. I think there's plenty of enthusiasts here to make it a positive experience. There's been plenty of times - especially with Motivated organizing the masses toward a BT tri - where some type of free flowing real time discussion would be highly beneficial. Additionally, this would also open up the opportunity to host a guest speaker/athlete etc. where fellow BT'ers would be able to throw out some questions to try to get some answers.
But......its not a perfect world....
there have been times when people with different viewpoints have posted and typed things that really weren't appropriate. I guess what I'm getting around to is the abuse factor potential. I'm really not sure how moderated something like this would have to be to prevent it from becoming a negative experience.
There are also plenty of other methods to get ahold of people (AIM, MSN, ICQ, etc) that require no effort on the site's part.

yeah I think the chat sounds cool too.
