Chat Room Survey...please reply.

As you can see on our Group page here we have a Chat Room feature that I would like us to begin taking advantage of.  My thought is that we would schedule chat times on certain subject matters so that we can continue to provide and receive support throughout the month, not just on the 3rd Saturday when we meet in person.  Below is our survey and I ask you to cut and paste the questions and your answers in a reply post so I can begin to see what interests us and let's get chatting:

1) Have you used a chat room before and can it be a useful tool for us?

2) If you are a man, would you participate in a Men Only session?

3) As a pre-op person, would you participate in a session just for pre-ops similar to our Pre-op & Newbie Q&A at our in-person meeting?

4) If you are a Kaiser patient, would you like a session about getting through or supporting you through the Kaiser process?

5) What other topics would you like us to schedule a chat room session for?

6) For any of these possible chat rooms, what are your preferred dates and times and list which topic you are writing about?

7) Would you be interested in moderating a session and, if so, which one(s)?

8) Should these sessions be scheduled weekly, monthly or quarterly? Please state which session you are referring to.

9) Anything else to say about this possible feature?

Thanks so much for your opinion.

1) Have you used a chat room before and can it be a useful tool for us?

I usually can get online late at night after 10pm.
Or, if I can get to the link at work, anytime during the workday would work.
Nothing real early like before 10am for me though.

Yes, post op, daily check in

I like a daily check in, an hour a day.
