Amazing. You posted at 9:26, telling people that your experts will be
available in 4 minutes, for one hour. This is presuming that people hang out
here just waiting for golden opportunities like these. Or, it could be
presuming that DNS problems are waiting for opportunities like these before
they happen.

I have no doubt that you are trying to help. I have a problem with the way
you are trying to help. Not "you" personally, but "you" as in MS. Your
execution of brilliant ideas leave much to be desired. Chats like these are
some of the things we've been asking for for a long time. Now, when you
finally got around to doing it, you dropped the ball - again. You need to
find more experts to staff the chat rooms. The experts need to be available
for much, much longer than 1 hour. The community needs to be given much,
much more than 4 minutes notices. The chats need to be archived for future
references.

In short, if you are REALLY interested in executing this idea, you need to
make more than just a lame ass, half-hearted attempt. This one just looks
like a "get-together" party for some idle hands interested only in
"appearance" and not in "substance" or "usefulness". I wish you luck next
time.

Well, since Deji's point is that there was really insufficient notice of
this to make it useful, and it is clear that the message was posted at 9:26
Pacific time on 11/12 (four minutes before it was due to start) I don't
think there's much to debate there, do you?

Future chats are listed there. The fact Steve posted here too was nice,
would have been nicer if he did it earlier, but to say that it wasn't
advertised in advance is false info : ). And I think sometimes users think
experts like ourselves are vending machines and we're obligated to help
them - you know that's not the case and if you didn't get respect you would
probably eventually quit helping users. Not trying to come off arguing or
offensive, sorry if it came out that way : )

I apologize for the "false info". I just did not see the prior
advertisement. It would be very helpful if you could please point out where
and when the advert took place. I personally think that the NG would be the
best forum for the advert, and since I only managed to get a 4 minutes
heads-up, I must be missing something.

I spent a lot of time (with other folks) going around in circle with
different MS groups who claim to have interest in figuring out how to make
these NGs more responsive and productive. We made a number of suggestions
and recommendation. Chat was one of the suggested options. Hit-and-Run chat
was definitely not.

When people come to these NGs to ask questions, it is because they have a
problem AT THAT TIME. I don't think people queue up their questions and
watch the clock waiting for the next "Chat" session to happen. If we are
going to do this Chat method, we better do it RIGHT. Otherwise, just dump
it.
