That's a good idea,
Tragic! It's also difficult to accomplish, albeit not impossible. What's key is finding chatty people who enjoy communicating via message boards and who grasp the importance of reciprocity. The deadly pull of
Facebook, combined with the trendy anti-courtesy and anti-writing clichés adhered to by those espousing geek chic as a lifestyle statement, may have already doomed non-corporate message boards to oblivion; but I like to think there's still hope.
