God I've just read some of those comments on the calendar.
It is very alarming.

I can see the difficulty, on /talk I think you know much more about each other already so it's easier to start a conversation.
A main boarder coming into that might I guess feel a bit out of place but I seem to remember Joe Scaramanga (sp?) having nice chats and being quite involved.

The impression I got...
was that /talkers were seen as outsiders more than anything. Doomed from the beginning. Doesn't look like some people are even going to make the effort and are going with preconcieved notions of the personalities of ALL who frequent talk.
