Folks... I'm going to disable this forum's supposedly "members-only" chat
room for now just so nobody runs into the same thing I did last evening and
gets the wrong idea! I was under the impression that only our forum's
members could participate in the chat room feature. Well, last night I left
my browser in the chat room just in case any of our members dropped by.
Imagine my surprise when I received a "private message" from someone not
connected with our forum. I won't repeat the contents of the message here
(not appropriate), but I had to laugh because it was just like some "evils
of the internet" story we used to see on the 6-o'clock news a few years ago.
I sent a complaint to eGroups management... seems like they need to work on
some security issues with the forum chat rooms. In any case, we're not using
it right now, so I see no harm in disabling it. Assuming they get it fixed,
maybe in the future we could have a weekly chat evening or some such if
enough folks were interested.
