I in general have a much higher tolerance for chat's idiosyncrasies(as it's one of the few mediums that I can find people to talk to at all hours of the night) but tonight's chat had #extropy in rare form. It was really a pleasure. I'm glad I was able to attend.
We managed to have some meaningful conversation, there were very few deadspots, and I got to talk to some of my 'heroes' on Extropians.

Indeed. Three cheers for organization. On a related note, we decided to defer setting the next date until the emaillist could confer. So, when should the next one be?

Well, vim would probably be fastest. Or you could email me, and I can send you a .txt file of the whole time I was there, which was seemingly most of it.

Quite quite. It really was very enjoyable, folks. Top flight conversation. Great fun for all. More sentence fragments.
