The dialogue below (18) was provided by chatters who thought there might be a<br />
technical problem <strong>in</strong> their chat room.<br />

Afra11: bei F5 fliege ich<br />
volare: der chat hängt schon seit tagen ...*grummel*<br />
“volare: the chat is stuck<br />

Afra11: press<strong>in</strong>g F5 kicks me out<br />
volare: the chat keeps gett<strong>in</strong>g stuck for days<br />
now...*grumble*”<br />
Clearly, this talk is not goal-oriented, it rather rem<strong>in</strong>ds one of people sitt<strong>in</strong>g<br />
together <strong>in</strong> an office <strong>and</strong> hav<strong>in</strong>g some chat about a crashed computer. As<br />
mentioned <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>troduction, this k<strong>in</strong>d of talk is basically lead for enterta<strong>in</strong>ment<br />
purposes. Thus it is no surprise, that the approach to the problem is not strictly<br />
goal-oriented.<br />
5.2.5 Leisure time plans<br />
In the process of gett<strong>in</strong>g acqua<strong>in</strong>ted, users are <strong>in</strong>terested <strong>in</strong> the activities of other<br />
users, though the will<strong>in</strong>gness to give detailed <strong>in</strong>formation is not very high.<br />
Evidently further <strong>in</strong>formation is only given when someone is really <strong>in</strong>terested <strong>in</strong><br />
the other person. More often, chatters talk about general topics <strong>in</strong> large groups<br />
