About this site
This website has been used for a variety of purposes over time. It was launched as the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic took root as a way to sneak conversation past the lockdown. Subsequent experience shows that humans have been quite adept at doing so, with an explosion of online tools to make it happen. This site may prove a useful addition, if only as a more readily available archive.
