So, you agree on a #topic and then talk there with folks? In other words, there really no private communication between people? Like here's an example. Suppose you want to give just me your e-mail address. You are saying:

  1. Tell me to go to chat
  2. Now we start on the #general topic
  3. You tell me to go to a private channel
  4. Now you tell me your e-mail address.

So isn't that still not private? Can't someone just join that channel and scroll up? Seems a bit clunky.

I have plenty of rooms that are just conversations between me and another user. We just talk there instead of emailing. I think it is quicker and easier.
