Cathy....while this board posts real time, it is unlikely that you can use it like a chat board and ask if anyone is on at that moment in time. First you are assuming that if they are they are lookinjg at your thread, and second, posters are spread thorughout so many time zones; from London to Mid America to Hong Kong, that finding someone on at the exact moment that you post would be difficult.
