Do as you wish. Enjoy.
But be prepared to see your content drop, if you find yourself attempting to discuss firearms issues in irc, icq, or whatever is the fave chat format, these days.
When I consider the best posts that I've read on TFL, I know that many of them took the author over an hour to type them. Thoughtful discourse is not encouraged in Chat formats. The nature of the beast is at best, quick, "witty" one-liners. (Perhaps my disdain stems from my lack of wit. Probably.) But at its worst, trolling erupts out of boredom. For all that, chat participants tend to be hooked like crack addicts. Never understood why, but I've seen it.
FWIW,
L.P.
