Interesting. But it is a bit of a mystery to me. I went to the site,
created an account, logged in, "followed" the retro-computing discussion,
searched in vain for the "discuss proposed discussion" button, tried the
general 'ask a question' tab, but it seems to believe that I am not logged
in.

I happily participate in a retro-computing discussions, but my knowledge
base is mainframe computing, so between the alienation in the discussion
definition, and the site's apparent inability to let me discuss that
alienation with the creators, it looks like Area51 is non-starter for me.
