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.
