How about we start a second email list to discuss where to have future discussions?
The advantage of a USENET server is that you can create groups for different types of discussion. Clients also typically offer "kill thread" functionality that makes them ignore future postings in the same thread.

One of the features I like about groups.io is sub-groups, so you could have topical sub-groups:
eg.
amprnet -> jnos amprnet -> aprs amprnet -> hamwan amprnet -> tunnels amprnet -> bgp amprnet -> IPv6
and so on.
Each with their own wiki, message board/mail list/membership, database, etc.
NW Digital Radio http://nwdigitalradio.com/ is using groups.io for support. If you want to get a feel for groups.io, create a personal account at Groups.io https://groups.io/register then join the main NW Digital group by sending an email from your registered email account to main+subscribe@nw-digital-radio.groups.io (you can unsubscribe at any time)
Look at the sub-groups - compass has github integration, udrc is the busiest.
One thing that I find useful, is once you create an account, you can list all of your email accounts as 'senders', so you don't have to remember which email account you set up as your account, you can post from any of your listed email accounts.
If you have a google or facebook account, you can use that as your primary email and use their sign-on for logging in.

+1 for groups.io
They even support muting threads so you don't have to have a client that does it for you. ;)
It was started by the guy who was also the founder of the company that got bought out by Yahoo and turned into Yahoo Groups (before Yahoo ran it into the ground by trying to "improve" it). He seems to be passionate about email groups still being the best way for groups to collaborate. The groups.io service is his vision for how email groups can be modernized and brought into the future without sacrificing compatibility.
The service has been gaining a lot of steam over the last couple years and I think that says a lot about their potential longevity. However, if there's ever any doubt, there's a button that allows exporting the entire groups history in the admin interface.
