Well, following the advice of M from the munch I attended, I've connected to an irc chatroom populated by locals. Is MIRC an obtuse piece of software, or am I just being difficult? It is probably largely my own fault; I didn't bother to look for detailed instructions and just plunged in.
Still, all anthropologist like, I have made first contact. My previous experience from other chats has well prepared me for the complete lack of wonder and mystery; people are people, wherever you go. They have simple, commonsense rules: Don't use real names, don't bug people with private messages, the chatroom is not a pickup bar. I'm not quite sure I understand the rule about the Goat, though...
Still, I have been told the chatroom becomes quite lively in the evening, so I must try again later. Here's hoping progress continues.
