Why is there such little communication in online play?

Why does nobody use the chat function when playing online poker? Is it because you can just go to a different table so easily? I personally think talking is an important way of messing with other players minds in live games, and therefore should still be important in online play.

Many people multi-table and don't read chat. If your chat is messing with somebody they can just turn yours off. I usually laugh at the efforts to mess with my mind because there is so little there.

ive come to the conclusion that chat is used only for players on tilt to blow some steam off...other than that nothing but nh's and gg's everywhere....i like to talk a little maybe get some info but other than that online poker is somewhat of a mute game.

oh yeah it should be called tiltchat instead of chat.

Also there are a lot of folks who can't type, spell or think.
