RE: [cobalt-users] Cobalt user chatroom????

[Doug Fuerst <djfirst@xxxxxx>]

And I'm top posting.
This is the problem with simply telling everyone to "look at the archives." 
And not to beat Dan up, but this is one of his favorite messages it seems. 
I took this person's question to be is there a chat room SET UP to allow us 
to chat together in real time. Please Dan, explain how that would be in the 
archives. And please, no flames!
There has been a tremendous amount of nastiness in the Cobalt lists lately. 
I think that its enough, IMHO. We are tending to react rather than read the 
questions rationally. If I cannot ask a question to this list, whether it 
might or might not be in the archive, and get a helpful reply, then his 
list has lost its appeal. And that will be a real shame. Everything  can 
not necessarily be located in the archive. Sometimes its much easier to ask 
a simple question, and get a simple reply back. Although  the answer MIGHT 
be in the archive, it hardly takes too much time or bandwidth to simply 
answer. Can we try to not react too quickly, and remember we are all 
supposed to be nice and colleagues? Please?
Just my $0.02
