-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Really though, it isn't as if we would be forced to use it. It was only presented as an alternative to the mailing list. I can't see why giving nag members an alternative form of collaboration is such a bad thing. IRC is a relatively mature(read old :-) ) form of chat. It has client software for every platform that you can think of. We use it in my office to collaborate with other groups both onsite and offsite. We have found that it is a great way to exchange information, ask for help, and get opinions. Again, I don't think it is being presented as a replacement for the mailing list and nobody is saying that you would be forced to use it, nobody is saying that we think you should use it, nobody is trying to say that it is better than the mailing list. Ed is just seeing if people would be interested in using it. - --Ray John Gorentz wrote: | It's much better to clog an inbox than to clog up a person's valuable time, I would think.
