Yes, they are my favorite type of group. Totally accessible, but
conversations can't be snooped on by anyone who hasn't joined. I like
the ones that are closely moderated, with strict rules to follow and
have had some very nice exchanges with other members via messaging. I
don't do group chats, but I imagine it could happen if I was
interested in that sort of thing.
