   Yes, I figured that. I guess youcan follow #tags to sort of   
   see and join a conversation. (?)  That's a guess since, believe   
   it or not, I've never even visited Facebook or any other of the   
   popular onlive social media sites.

   Yes, I actually had people I knew from the BBS come and visit me   
   here from Australia. Quite exciting at the time, and it was really   
   early in the spring and very lucky that they could drive in and   
   not have to walk the last mile through the snow.   
      
   Funny, the critters were just starting to come out and they freaked   
   out when they saw a 'Real!' Chipmunk. It seemed strange to me but   
   I suppose it would be like us visiting there and seeing a Kangaroo..
