Hi Tim H,

To muddle through to something to attempt one night with a chance of
success, I think.  :-)

I only see a difference if I interpret ‘chat’ in that to mean text or
audio; no video.  So like the text chat of IRC.

I think the audio aspect is required.  We already have #dorset on IRC
but for those not use to it a busy IRC channel can be hard to follow
because P says something and replies come from Q, R, and S over time and
intermingled with those is P's extra information and T pipes up with a
related issue.  It's like multiple parties audibly talking but being
able to untangle the audio in your head to distinct conversations.
