Re: [sc-users] Future of the lists

[rohrhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I see that this is not easy to decide.

First, thank you so much, Scott, for doing all the invisible work. I wasn't aware that moderating has been tedious, and it reminds me that in volunteer work it is important to have a way of load balancing. It is a shame that my institution can't offer support; we should have thought about it before it is too late. Our tacit principle is that the do-er decides, so yes.

The conversations are different here. It would be ideal if one could not end this list, but just emulate it through discourse. But I haven't found a way to make the mailing list mode work, so I don't know if this is possible.

I learned so much here. This is the earliest email I wrote to this list, almost 22 years ago:
