Well, not as obsolete as a mailing list... A closed news server would be much more convenient to use for discussions like this than a list... (and of course you could run it on a Raspberry Pi :-)
We are trying to get new hams interested in the hobby. It’s bad enough getting them to understand a mail client. They’d never be able to fathom a Usenet client. Have you ever tried to find a usable Usenet client for the iPhone? (That’s rhetorical. I’ve tried them all. They are all garbage. I’m not looking for suggestions)
