Let's Try a Knife Chat Again!

Some years back a bunch of us would get together on the computer and talk knives for a while. Due to issues with the software that sort of faded away after a while but it was a heck of a lot of fun while it lasted.

I'd like to try it again. This time, I'm thinking we try Yahoo Messenger and use the conference call feature. Yahoo Messenger is free to download and free to use and they don't throw too much advertising at the users. So, if you're interested get YM installed on your computer and then add brick_batt (that's me, brick_batt@yahoo.com) to your contact list. Adding me to your list will cause YM to ask me if I want to add you to my list and I will. Then, at 4:00 pm Pacific time on Sunday Oct 9, 2011 I'll sign on to YM and invite everyone that I see is online into a conference call. You'll need a microphone to talk but if you don't have one then you can just text your comments, that works too. If you show up a little later that's fine too, I'll add you as I see you.

I have no idea how well this will work or how many callers can conference at one time. But, if it works as well as the old software used to it will be a great opportunity for the Newbs to meet the crusty old coots and vice versa. Everyone is invited and, at least in the past, this worked world wide so where ever you are I hope you'll drop in for a while .

If you have comments or suggestions, please feel free ....

In the past, we talked about anything and everything to do with knives and often wandered off into non-knife related topics as well. Mostly, we discussed exactly the same questions and issues as we do here in the Newbies forum but we could do it interactively. We also shared pictures of our projects. It's another way to share the knife making experience while getting better acquainted ....

You can download YM at http://messenger.yahoo.com/ Sunday at 4 pm, be there or be square! Do I sound like a cheer leader yet? Doesn't come naturally for an old sourpuss like me ....

Well dog-gone Ray. I haven't heard from you in a while. I don't visit this forum as much as I once did, so that may have something to do with it.

The old Pal Talk days were fun. Maybe Romey and some of the other old guys will see this.

Hope you are doing well.

Robert Dark

Hey Roberto! Romey will probably turn up and I hope you will too! It would be good for the Noobs to bounce questions off you guys. I talk to Romey sometimes on YM but I've never tried a conference call before but if at least two people show up I guess we'll find out if it will fly....

One last reminder that some of us will be trying to get together on Yahoo Messenger for a yak fest in about 45 minutes from now. If you're interested in joining us, follow the instructions in the first post in this thread. Anybody and everybody is welcome to show up...

I'd love to listen in when I can. My work schedule usually conflicts, but things could change. I just goota get a mic. I can't type fast enough to keep up in most cases.

Hey Ray!

If you folks are interested, Since the chat ended on KN, I've installed a chat room on my website. The chat starts at 7pm MST on Wed evenings. For security reasons, I keep the chat page down until Wed afternoons, then I upload it.

All you have to do is follow the link from my home page: Caffreyknives.net "Wed Night Knife Chat"
