If it was approved by the List Owners (PIE &/or CARE) we should try it overall - I can't imagine that it would overload the daily messages any more so than any other topic or issue that is raised on a daily basis - especially if the SUBJECT HEADER would be used properly - and it was noted as "XXXX" for easy deletion or reading - If not agreed to, why couldn't we just find a chat room through whomever - AOL, Yahoo, i don't know - i mean i really don't know how that works (except for Buddy Chat on AOL) but it would be soooooo helpful - more responses/opinions out there?
