Dear Clay,

I have never used konversation or Quassel.  I have both installed.  How do you 
use them?  Who determines topic?  Is it like the List only realtime?  Mostly 
alone, it is since this list that I have started communicating with strangers 
on line.  I really only want to talk about computer stuff to learn.  Is that 
what Quassel is for?  Just one more time I show how little I know.
