Mouse, no need to apologize... you can do whatever you desire in order to get together and chat.... shit, I encourage it. That was just my opinion for the given problem of time difference. Maybe if you can come with a standing time daily that suits people, so that way if anyone wants to chat, they know what time to meet each day, relative to where they are in the world???
If you want it, just tell me and I can change the heading notice to reflect it or put a standing announcement outlining the timings?
