Turns out that SL has a (usually) functional chat system. I know, I know, other chat programs are fine when you can't get inworld, and great for people you know, but for strangers like this? In a world where you use the chat system to communicate?

Weird.

I don't think you were out of line Razeiel. I try to keep my personal information between me and my friends and I don't want it blasted all over the web.
I've asked several people that very question when asked for MSN, or AIM< ,or Skype, or Yahoo, or anything else, none of which I use. "Why do we need that, to talk here in SL?" I haven't had one decent answer.
