Hey (again) guys.

[Talking Poker]

Wow... I can't believe that was nearly a year ago. Time flies.

As for what Brian said about turning chat off, I agree with that if you let other players' chat affect your game - ie, if their words can tilt you.

If you have your emotions under control though and don't let what they say bother you, I think it's beneficial to have chat on, so you can see when your opponents are tilting, etc. There are also occasional chat tells - most players aren't this stupid, but you'd be surprised.
