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. {{:)
