# A {Channel} is the union of the three {Actors} that are involved in an {Activity}:
#
# * The author that creates a post, comment, etc. This can be a {User}, {Group}
#   or any kind of {SocialStream::Models::Subject subject}
# * The user_author representing the author. When users change session and
#   act in behalf of a {Group}, Social Stream still records which user is responsible
#   for an {Activity}
# * The owner in whose wall the Activity is performed.
