B.9.  Great Progress, could -almost- be used as-is.  

The real outstanding problems yet are:

1) Need submission trigger on return in text entry so you don't have to
click or tab out to hit enter.

2) A name should be required to submit a message.  We get any troublemakers
in there, you'll get 7 people not using a name at all and you won't know
who's doing what.

3) You're not urlencoding your data, thus dropping things like "one & two"
half on the ground, amongst other problems this could lead to.  You want to
use escape(varname) when assembling your query string, concatenating it
with + operands.

Other than that, far better.  I'd have made the Present Chatters about 10
high so you easily get the idea it's a list.  At least 5.  It can scroll,
it just needs to make its presence known.  If it was there last night when
you asked me to look, I entirely missed it until today when I had another
look around for it.

Much improved.  Just some stuff that needs to be worked out.
