hola thechat

i am not subscribed but i do peek into thechatarchive occasionally

joe crawford pointed out the domain string checker thing, and, like he did,
i immediately went ego surfing and came up with this (no, it's not mine) --

no site, which is a shame, but nice to know somebody paid for the domain


also, i noticed you had a science fiction thread going

please allow me to recommend some hard science fiction that i found
particularly good (i'm not going to mention the ones i bought and started
but couldn't finish, like sewer gas and electric) --
