You probably mean _increased_ the SNR. SNR is Signal-to-Noise Ratio, and if
it's high, then it's better. (it's a term derived from Electrical
Engineering :-)).
In any case, I like this idea so much that I started a charter for this list
on the Hackers-IL Wiki:
http://www.hackers.org.il/mediawiki/index.php/Linux-il-chat
Feel free to correct or add more things there (or say your opinion below), or
in the Discuss this page link.
Note that I haven't formed the mailing list yet, nor intend to in the
meantime. It's just that I like this idea.
