I've noticed that many of us have posted our screennames for various messaging systems (AIM, Jabber, Skype, etc.), but there appears to be a question of whether we're actually interested in contacting each other or not. This may be universal, or it may just be me - I don't know.
So, I've created this thread in case anyone would actually like to chat with the other members of the forums, but don't want to message someone out of the blue. If anybody would like to make it known that they can be (or would like to be) contacted by the other members of the forums, post here and make it known.

And if anyone on the forums ever has a science-related question (preferably biology - I'm a microbiologist, after all), feel free to ask me. I've got a lot of expertise and a love of sounding really really smart to other people.
...And Skype. But I never use it. It just logs in automatically. XD I have two friends on there.
But I'd love to chat. However, once you're added, I'll probably never be the first to contact you - I don't even notice people who log on...
Also, I don't mind people messaging me out of the blue. Just don't expect me to be too talkative if I get distracted.
I think I have AIM, YIM, MSN, Jabber, and such, though most people I talk to use AIM.
I also have skype, but I wish Adium supported it. (proprietary bullshit....)
I love talking to people about interesting topics. Feel free to IM me whenever.
By the way, what's ICQ, Bonjour, and all that stuff? How many IM-type programs do you need?
