Except that it excludes all of us that don't use facebook from those discussions, which seems like a high price to pay for a formatting change. Josh

Brian, It is a much cleaner discussion format than email. Lin

Josh as the USENET discussion is part of this thread let me say that this is the last email list that I am a member of the email list is a dinosaur just as much as USENET. Either a web based discussion forum, but those are so prone to hacking patches are a weekly to daily issue. Facebook provides a clean simple way to discuss. Change is good if you have other suggestions please feel free to point them out, but email list definitely does not draw in new users and does not provide a clean discussion with threads and sub threads.

And this is pure bull.
Either a web based discussion forum, but those are so prone to hacking patches are a weekly to daily issue.
I refuse to bounce around from page to page for the dozens and dozens of groups I participate in and read.
Facebook provides a clean simple way to discuss.
And I don't and won't do Facebook either. It's may be simple but that's it. It's not a good place or way to discuss complex subjects.

I don't mind change, but change for bad reasons isn't good.
, but email list definitely does not draw in new users and does not provide a clean discussion with threads and sub threads.
Then you're using the wrong email program. All the lists I subscribe to (and the web based groups that allow me to fetch via email) are sorted into folders and discussions are threaded. I can participate or ignore as I choose in far less time than mucking on Facebook.
I do G+ and it's at least relatively sane, but it also is no replacement for mail lists.
