Like a mailing list, but higher bandwidth. Latency can be more unpleasant, actually - you try to discuss something between 3 people, when one is in .uk, another - in .us (east coast) and the third one - in ,au (also east coast). Timezone deltas - 5 hours and 8 hours, in opposite directions... Incidentally, that was about mount, with me and David being two of participants; I somewhat hoped to get that sorted out at LSF, but Ian won't be there anyway. OTOH, that's just an 8 hours delta...
