IRC can be addictive so I saw, and as I'm already addicted enough to the Internet, I want to stop at that...

I get enough satisfaction from chatting about cycling specific topics here and we can always digress to a certain extent or start talking about an off-topic topic right away.
The e-mail messaging (i've got a broadband connection as well) is neat for being able to respond immediately)..
