Re: [sc-users] Future of the lists

[al.khawarizm@xxxxxxxxx]

Echoing what has already been said, thank you Scott for your stirling work tending this list, and to the resident high priests who have been so generous with their time and wisdom over so many years!

I’m sad to see it go  but understand that change is necessary.

I have only occasionally posted, but have been an avid reader. As has been said, the learning curve is steep for those of us (like myself) who do not have a primary background in computer science, engineering etc. But this list has allowed me to get purchase on how to think in SC terms (the back and forth, seeing how it is usually possible to approach problems in a number of ways, how these open up different possibilities).

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.
