Hmm....

I think that there should be some happy medium between Todd & Suz's idea of
the group, and your thoughts of how it will be.  It should be a more serious
group, but that shouldn't mean that all conversation should be lowered
there.  If conversation is on-topic enough, and serious, I say it belongs
there.  But floods of 'me too's' should be directed elsewhere.

I think you both have good ideas for it, and there should be something found
in the middle.
