[jdev] Greetings from a Google Talk developer

[Ulrich B. Staudinger]

Hi Gary,

a warm welcome from the board!
Welcome to the list! Your participation is very welcome and we feel 
honored that XMPP is Google's IM protocol of choice. I am pretty sure 
google's efforts will be trend-setting in matters of user friendliness, 
SPIM prevention, usability and quality of service.

Thanks again and keep up the good vibes :-)

Ciao,
Ulrich
