Can we move the use-list to a Google Chat

[Richmond]

"I was raised with a computer, with facebook for my friends and google 
as my study guide."

That, presumably, makes you aged between 16 and 21 . . .

Not all of us feel 100% comfortable with Google's octopus-like grip on 
various things.

Nor, for that matter, do we see Facebook as the B-all-and-end-all 
(although I use it extensively
for communicating with the children I teach).

The use-list may be "retro", but that is not necessarily a bad thing: it 
also is really useful when
I need to read it on my Macintoshes that run systems 8.1 and 9.2 using 
Netscape 2.

"massive,unindexed, scattered, blob"

Well: as Google lover, all you really need to do is go to Google 
Advanced Search and type "Livecode"
in the first line, and whatever you're looking for in the second line, 
and press the Return/Enter key,
and "magically" all the refs in both the Use-List and the Forums will 
appear.
