Active Rain is like a national cocktail party. You can show up at any time, and something's going on. Never know who might be in the room (although you can frequently count on the "regulah's"). And, like the actual cocktail party, at the virtual party, everyone has an agenda. The nice thing is we can get to our point fairly quickly without going through 2 hours of small talk. So...
"Hi, everyone, my name is Jaynee, and I'm from Washington DC". How's everyone today?" "Great!"
"I wanted to tell you about this woman, Debra Lynn Dadd, her work in chemical-free living, her free newsletter, and the two "green homes" she has for sale in Florida". She and her husband renovated these homes using chemical-free materials, have installed a chlorine-free pool, and a sustainable kitchen garden." 
"I'm thinking that Active Rainers in the Eco group, Florida groups, and Realtors would cherish this information for their clients, and could help make just the right match of home to buyer". "Wouldn't it be a terrible waste if these homes went to a "normal" buyer who might renovate them "normally", and undo all that work?" "And, what a gift it would be for the green home buyer to find these properties, after looking at an endless string of new wall to wall carpeting, VOC-soaked walls, and pesticide-ridden basements?"
"Don't you agree this is the right place to spread the word?"
"I think I'll have another glass of sparkling water; may I get you anything at all?"
"Love your shoes!"
