A board is very different from a mailing list.  It's html based so it runs 
slowly (when it runs at all <wry grin>).  It's quite public.  A mailing 
list is quite private, and runs at the speed of my connection and email 
client.  I generally DO NOT use boards, and probably never will.  I find 
them too time-consuming.

I'm sure that somewhere there are chats that take place quickly enough, and 
in orderly enough a fashion that I might use them.

I've NEVER found one, though <frown>.

Continue to use the mailing list.  That's my vote.  If you don't like this 
list, because it's sponsored by Cobalt, then start your own, or ask me to 
start one.  Nothing wrong with using this one, though; it's easiest to 
find, as people will always look at the cobalt site for cobalt support options.
