Re: [opennic-discuss] new enthusiastic member!

thank you for the welcome!

Don't really use irc, as I find it pretty difficult to keep up if there's a 
lot of chat back and forth, with the screen reader, it's more a group 
chatting system isnt it rather than something like skype or facebook where 
you chat one on one in text?

with emails I can more easily keep up, but if things are too quiet here for 
a while I might brave irc.

thinking about a system for none opennic users to access opennic domains
something like
domainname.tld.opennic.org
has this already been done or is there a reason why it hasnt?
take care
