Default "RFC Chat" is fun, but it has no rules about posting anonymously"

I don't personally like the mailing list, because that gets to be
rather exclusive after a bit. And this way, anyone from rfc can join
in chatting with us. If we use a mailing list, then that limits the
amount of folks that might come join us, since we would only be
mailing each other.

Carol, I know you feel that it has gotten a bit big. But haven't you
had fun with all the new folks? I certainly have...and I like to meet
new rfc folks in there. I don't think I am alone in that respect.

This is not a public channel. It is not on a list. So the only people
that would know about it are folks that frequent rfc.
