Is this list useful?

chatter hasn't seen a lot of use, but it seems like it would be worthwhile
for things which are club related but not linux or official meeting related.

In the past people have used this list to solicit roommates, post job
offers, or put up some obscure machine for sale.  I'd like to see the
separation between the two lists, but it doesn't seem like people have been
using it recently to the point where it may not be worth maintaining.

Thoughts?

Personally I subscribed to all three lists just to make sure I got
everything, but I think that for the most part the CPLUG list is
fairly low-volume and doesn't necessarily need entirely separate lists
for on and off-topic stuff. Perhaps people could just use courtesy to
title their emails with "[Off-topic]" or something?

It wasn't until I saw that link that I understood the true reason for this
list's existence.

BTW, check out this video of potential interview questions for web
developers, with broader applicability to coding jobs in general:

haha that is awesome... I agree with Red- it proves that this list should exist.

We started chatter@ because some people were getting annoyed at the "off-topic" discussion going on on cplug@
Even though traffic is low on both lists, I think its good to keep chatter at . It doesn't seem to be hurting anything to keep it around.

On that note, have you guys seen Everybody loves Eric Raymond?
