First issue: Double-posting is frowned upon, not just here, but in pretty much all fora on the Internet.swanyjas said:
Second issue: Stream of consciousness only works if others are in the same stream as you. We're not. That post is all but indecipherable. Here's some spare punctuation that you might want to sprinkle throughout that post, preferably in logical places, since it's all but unreadable the way it's written:
.... ,,,, :::: ;;;; (take whatever you need, leave the rest for someone else)
Third issue: Is anything regarding Internet chatting ever truly a nightmare? If it were that important wouldn't one handle it via phone? I could see it being a "thorn in my side", a "relative inconvenience" or even a "moderate aggravation." But a nightmare?
Final issue: As best I can tell from your post, you seem to have some issues with chatting, possibly regarding a video teleconference. If you're looking for audio/video connectivity you might try Skype. It works. It's (generally) free, and works for voice and video teleconferencing. Of course, the bandwidth provided by a hotel or airport might limit the usability of any realtime audio/video conferencing. This requires a pretty large amount of bandwidth.
