I can copy and paste it if you like.

But to get it like this:
https://www.feldoncentral.com/Sachs/...LogFeb15R.html

takes 4-6 hours.

I reshuffle almost EVERY line of the chat logs so that it is:

repeat {
1. Visitor's Question
2. Jim's answer
3. My comment
4. Others' comments
};

I typically thin out a lot of the "hi", "hello", join/leave messages, and then group questions and answers together, etc.

For someone who was there, the chat log is understandable because they saw the actual timing of it. For someone who was not there, it can be kinda tough to understand when you see something like:

Code:

[20:20:50] [JimSachs] Morgan -  It's the same thing as going away for the weekend, 
and having someone tear down your house and rebuild it their way.  
It might be better, but you won't know where anything is.
[20:21:05] *** Vish (Vish@=hSgdwvfq2-rp80-8-77.dsl-verizon.net) has joined #sachs
[20:21:21] [JimSachs] Also the reason I don't hire any contractors to work on my house.
[20:21:33] [feldon26] Jim: I understand your work ethic.
[20:21:36] [Vish] Hi All
[20:21:47] [JimSachs] Or my cars.
[20:21:58] [JimSachs] Hi, Vish
[20:22:13] * feldon26 stews and lets other people drop in.
[20:22:20] [Vish] Hi Jim. So what are we all talkin about...
[20:22:36] [Vish] I know I am late....
[20:22:38] [Gigazoid] Freshwater progress
[20:22:41] [feldon26] hi Vish, welcome to the chat.
[20:22:44] [JimSachs] Or go to doctors.

Good luck man, seems to be a lot of work

Jav400 · 03-29-2003, 07:52 AM

It is. But, thats about the way it usually goes.

I never had a girlfriend. Frankly, the whole thing seems decidedly beyond me. I know what women want but I have no hope in hell of ever being able to offer it.

patscarr · 04-06-2003, 03:51 AM

You're still young Falz, don't give up hope yet. Besides, if you know what woman want, you are much wiser than I.

Falz · 04-06-2003, 10:19 PM

Knowing what women want is the easy part. Having it though is another question.

theechap · 04-16-2003, 01:17 AM

any idea when this transcript will get finished?

Jav400 · 04-16-2003, 05:15 AM

I haven't looked at it in awhile. I'm not sure if Morgan has or not. We have been working on the fish guide, new wishlist page format, and forum additions, just to name a few. Hopefully soon.

It took long enough, but the chat transcript for the March 15th chat with Jim Sachs is now available.
