[arg_discuss] Next IRC Chat: Aug. 17

[Wendy Despain]

I think this is the only time we can get both the UK and Oz.

But I have to put in my thoughts about the day. Sundays just won't
work for me. I need time away from work and that's what my weekends
are for.

So I'm not saying you should plan the chat around me. Just providing
my apologies. If it's on Sunday, i can't make it.
