I agree, the chat is almost nonexistent in some places, but most are probably in private chat and don't pay much attention to local. Love it when local chat is hard to keep up with from everyone talking so much. When I first started in SL and passed by someone (or ran them over lol) I'd say hi or sorry!, but some in SL seem to run when you try and start a conversation. Haha, random people landing at your house, now we all have them locked We all want the same thing in SL, finding where we fit, but dang it feels like work finding it.
