Yo! Excuse the mass mailing and apolo-cheese to those getting this more than
once. Special "SORRY!" to those on digest-tion who won't get this until after
the fact <oops>

Reminder of the Ratpack's weekly chat, Monday nights, 8 p.m. Central Time, IRC,
EFNET, #ratjam.

I've been looking into other chat venues and all have proven problematic. There
is a chat room provided for each mailing list by egroups BUT from what I can
tell only members of that list can use it. Since our chats are attended by folks
other than Ratpack list members (such as Greg's fanklub members, other Forever
Knight fans, friends who just tuck h'in fer a bit o' bubble n' squeak), it
wouldn't be proper in our case. The local sci fi club's site is IRC.

I know a lot of people have trouble getting into IRC's EFNET but can get into
IRC's UNDERNET fine. Would that make a difference to anyone? If not, I'll just
keep it in EFNET.
