That will give us all time to acquire the book in common and familiarize
ourselves with the "lesson plan" so to speak, so I think that works out
well.

Personally I vote for email, because I have too much trouble juggling my
schedule as it is, and I don't need anything else that is tied to the
clock.  But perhaps we could do both, so that folks with the time and will
to do live chat can do so, for more intensive study.  I won't feel left
out.  :)

I have a feeling that choosing a book by consensus of 35 members will take
forever. <G>  May I suggest that the course coordinator choose the book,
with the advice and consent of the helpful chix?  since we as
students aren't in much of a position to choose a textbook anyway.
