Hi Stephen

I don't suggest that it is anything more than *another* useful avenue. 
Responses can certainly be less well-formed and conflated with 
non-germaine conversation.  Recognizing the latter, the channel 
ameliorates by decreeing that on-topic conversation should take priority.

There are benefits of both forums.  Clearly for some, the disadvantages 
of one can prevent them from using it.

I want the Ada community to flourish and if that means trying to drag it 
from one out-dated technology to another I will!

Cheers
