Okay, since I suspect this is likely to be the prevailing opinion, I
have gone ahead and created a chat subgroup. I agree that the excessive
chatting may simply be a side effect of the fact that it is a new list, but
having it available certainly can't hurt. One of the differences
between a standard/parent group and a subgroup, is that only members of the
parent group can subscribe to a subgroup. I hope that everyone understands
that as much as I don't want to be a jerk, if we're going to make this
change, I will have to mostly enforce the restriction on too much general
chatting/humor on the primary list. Of course, part of my reasoning for
creating a new list was to provide a more open minded/friendly environment so
this doesn't mean that I'm going to turn into a raving dictator. In my
opinion and experience, most rules which are too strictly
enforced only wind up irritating those who are required to follow
them.

It also occurs to me that the chat subgroup might
have another useful benefit. If you subscribe to it, but at certain times
it becomes too much or is overwhelming your inbox, you can simply disable it by
setting it to "no mail" for as long as you like and you still won't be missing
out on content from the primary list.

Another advantage is that if a topic turns into too
much chat after starting out as a technology topic, you, Carlos can ask that it
be taken to the chat list and it can be done without causing problems or
resentment. On the blindtech list, when the owner or moderators asked that
something be taken off list, it was an absurd request and was tantamount to
closing the thread. Where was the thread supposed to go? No
provision was available. That caused needless resentment. I
suggested in the past that Blindtech have a chat group associated with it but
the owner and moderators refused to consider the idea.

certain times it becomes too much or is overwhelming your inbox, you can
simply disable it by setting it to "no mail" for as long as you like and
you still won't be missing out on content from the primary
list.

Subject: [TechTalk] Chat subgrou
for Tech Talk
Okay, since I suspect this is likely to be the prevailing
opinion, I have gone ahead and created a chat subgroup. I agree
that the excessive chatting may simply be a side effect of the fact
that it is a new list, but having it available certainly can't
hurt. One of the differences between a standard/parent group and a
subgroup, is that only members of the parent group can subscribe to a
subgroup. I hope that everyone understands that as much as I don't
want to be a jerk, if we're going to make this change, I will have
to mostly enforce the restriction on too much general
chatting/humor on the primary list. Of course, part of my
reasoning for creating a new list was to provide a more open
minded/friendly environment so this doesn't mean that I'm going to turn
into a raving dictator. In my opinion and experience, most
rules which are too strictly enforced only wind up irritating
those who are required to follow them.

This sounds like a good decision. And if the chat dwindles, you can delete
the sub-group. Should satisfy everyone but of course that is impossible. I have
high hopes for this list and think it will be a good one.

How do you set something for no mail? Probably that is according to your mail, mine being Outlook 2013.

It is not client dependant. You have to go to the homepage which in this case would be https://groups.io/org/groupsio/TechTalkfor the primary group or https://groups.io/org/groupsio/TechTalk+chatfor the chat subgroup. Then you have to sign in with your Email address and assign a password. At that point you can log in to the site, select the "Subscription" link, and then choose the "No Email" radio button. Most list providers also have mail commands which you can send to perform such actions much more quickly. Although I could not find the list of commands for groups.io so if anyone either has the list or knows where they can be found, I would appreciate it.

Another advantage is that if a topic turns into
too much chat after starting out as a technology topic, you, Carlos can ask
that it be taken to the chat list and it can be done without causing
problems or resentment. On the blindtech list, when the owner or
moderators asked that something be taken off list, it was an absurd request
and was tantamount to closing the thread. Where was the thread
supposed to go? No provision was available. That caused needless
resentment. I suggested in the past that Blindtech have a chat group
associated with it but the owner and moderators refused to consider the
idea.
