Well that doesn't sound like an altogether bad feature.  But if this 
means needing to clutter up my chat tab with every group I might be 
interested in hearing group chat from, it would be bad.

I know you are aiming for an IRC-style function, but on IRC I have a big 
chunk of screen I can dedicate to channel tabs, in SL I don't want my IM 
window to be that wide.
