Thanks, but no thanks.

1. MarxChat sounds like an oxymoron to me.

2. Invitation-only membership is unlikely to generate the kind of atmosphere that 
working class politics needs: openness, democracy, etc.

3. The "pointlessness" as you put it, of Hugh, Dave B et al., sometimes makes me 
smile. I'd miss it.

4. I'm too busy - don't you know there's a (class) war on?
