Thanks. Sorry about the quote. You're right, that was an error on my
part, very rude.
No, I am not using AIM. The two people on my buddy list I want to chat
with are, but they were not logged into the chat nor listed anywhere in
its configuration when this occurred. I guess the best idea is to just
plain give up on chatting with them as a family and keep on doing it
one-on-one but I do find it odd that I would get AIM issues when I am
not using it, do not have anything to do with it installed on my
machine, and indeed have never used it. Oh well, too bad about the chat
idea but so it goes.
Thanks again!

You are using AIM, so it is not unreasonable to expect to have to
login to their web site if you are doing more than simply chatting.
You would probably find that the official AIM client logs you in
behind your back.
see some other person has also entered and left while I was typing
this! Do I not have the right to restrict who is in my chat?? What,
if I may ask, gives?
Normally bad practice to quote signatures, but you may not be aware
this is a mailing list.
