I find e-mail far preferable to slack-like things, certainly far preferable to web-like things in general. I have abandoned all social media in the interests of living a more pleasant life. E-mail for me is about all that is left. However, I am old and rubbish and I don't think the requirements of dinosaurs should drive decisions about the future of mammals. I do think a simple comparison of the traffic on this list and the size of the community suggests that something is a bit out of whack. Maybe e-mail is a poor tool for discussions; maybe people have nothing to say; maybe a big audience is intimidating; maybe dinosaurs are annoying. It seems very possible that the answer to these kinds of questions lie in sociology and not engineering. Joe > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
