RE: [cobalt-users] cobalt discussion channels

["Benjamin Tehan" <sysadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have no problem with the mailing list.

What I did want to know is if there was a chat based server for cobalt
issues.

Because alot of times when you need help fast the emailing list doesn't
always offer, especially the time when I'm online I normally wait till the
next day before I get an answer.

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.
