Dave:

This could be a better alternative to IM's since signing 
up to a service is most likely not required and 
understandibly some people do not wish to do so.

Chris Spry has his telnet service that I have played with, 
and Roger Taylor set up a room on a web based service. 
 These may be better since they are more under the control 
of fellow CoConutz.

It's just an idea though and as the major contributor to 
this thread, I think we've beaten it into the ground 
enough :)  The list is the best choice for building the 
community, the IM's are more for one on one chats. 
 Cheers!
