gwhl··on Don't Just Say "Hello" in Chat

I just learned to not care. I say "hi" to notify that I'm there and let them type. When an answer is required from me I pay attention, think and answer. Until then I ignore it.

I found it so much easier for me to learn not to be (too) distracted than to lose my mind trying to educate humanity to adapt to me.

gwhl··on Names should be cute, not descriptive
