Well, the thing about sticking to the topic on the list is that there 
really isn't one, so a few hundred people get to voice their opinion 
about what should be talked about  one day when there isn't enough of 
what they want to read.  This is typical of every mailing list, I'm sure.

But since we've evolved into so many CoCo projects that span across 
so many different platforms, we can't just have one place to 
communicate.  That's where forums and chats come in to help.  But 
some don't like forums or the trouble of visiting a web site to look 
for new messages.  Some absolutely love it, as I do.  So, I think we 
need a multi-platform CoCo mailing list aimed at developers and 
techies that have their cup of coffee on the desk and their sleeves 
rolled up, ready to talk CoCo-related stuff or OS-specific stuff that 
is helpful to the CoCo authors.

The fact that we can have several or more mailing lists and an e-mail 
filter to put them in separate folders, helps the off-topic situation 
and let's us stay where we are, right here, but have the feeling that 
it's one list since we all know each other already!  That's why I 
thought of a channel :)

So, here's a place for the off-topic stuff, and I'll be the first to join:
