What's the best way to talk?

Reading John's post (the "Is it secret?" one) made me think of times in the WC (especially when I first started working there) when I had just finished a session and really wanted to talk about it with someone. Partially this was from nervous energy because I was new; I wanted to know if that was how things usually went, or if I was doing things right. But partially I think sometimes we just experience sessions and clients that are so challenging or interesting or unusual that we want to talk about them with another consultant. However, this is where I have to pause and then talk about something else. I don't think I have ever wanted to talk about anything gossipy to another consultant that concerned a client. But talking about a client in any way could be construed as gossip by fellow tutors or, more importantly, by other clients in the WC. I've heard tutors remark on how long a session felt or how glad they were to take a break (I've said such things myself), which isn't insulting to anyone yet I still feel the need to check and make sure there aren't any clients in hearing distance. The most I've talked about some sessions I've had has been in class, which isn't an oppotunity any of us will be having anymore. I agree with John; I think if consultants want to get online and talk about a session, that would be a great way to do it. However, I don't think they will. It isn't the same as having a face-to-face discussion. Online, there's no guarantee that anyone will respond to what you've said. You can't really have a conversation (you could, but there would probably be a lot of time lag and that doesn't feel conversational), and the added step of having to go online to talk about something would probably prevent some people from ever doing it at all. If a consultant just wants to sort of vent or work a difficult session out in writing, then a blog or staff wiki would be fine. But for anyone who wants to have a real dialogue, posting online (at least at this juncture) doesn't seem like the best solution.
