Cheryl,
Crying icon - good one!
You know, instant messaging may be a good alternative to adding a little used chat module.
Actually, if you can see it, I have 3 instant message icons in the upper-right corner of my posts. They appear there because I provided my Instant Messaging screen names for AOL, MSN and Yahoo.
I really only use MSN (MSN and Windows Messenger). If you click on the MSN icon, I can be added to your user list and let the chatting begin!
I think I'll update my profile and remove the AOL and Yahoo icons as I never log into those chat applications.]
