Yup, I sure am.
First of all, IRC is NOT the only answer. I first learned of this mailing
list from a conversation (in Hol!) with one of its members on an Internet-
based game called a MUSE. MU* are other possibilities, and considering I have
done IRC, and can't stand the thing (and no longer have easy access, as I am
at a different account), I would say MU* over IRC anyday.
But that isn't the issue.
If your concern is interaction, I am going to throw this out at you: I have,
as Acting Beginner's Grammarian, always tried to encourage students to email
me directly whenever they had a particular idea/problem they didn't
understand. I have always been more than willing to answer such. Yes, it may
take me a few days (if people saw my email environement, and how limited my on-
line times were, they would understand *why* it takes me a few days...), but I
*will* answer. And if I haven't answered anyone's question to an extent wher
they were satisfied yet, I have yet to hear about it (and if I haven't heard
about, then there is a problem... because I can't explain/correct/fix things I
don't know are confusing/wrong/broken! :( ).
I have also had a few other people suggest a few other viable ideas on that
subject, which I just may take them up on. *grynze evylly*
Don't worry: I believe in keeping the teachers as close to the students as
possible. After all... I was a student once, too, you know. {{:)
