+A channel is where a message is FILED, not who may read it. Everyone in the
+workspace reads every channel, and --channel changes nothing about who sees a
+signal. Archiving a channel keeps its history and its permalinks and refuses new
+messages. cswarm reply --thread answers in the open, in the thread of the signal

+answers the original author privately.

 never opens a browser or infers a human's saved workspace. Durations use a whole
