The machine isn't nearly as old as that to begin with. ;)

likely not. Haven't found something with that subject in the recent
list. Answered.

"Web" forums are super old fashion. I mean they even predate IP and E-
Mail...

I'm also wondering why I hear something like this from someone who I
don't know from this list, IRC, the presentations, business networks,
or any real life events.

Also everone please keep in mind that this is a community project. It
is as active as people provide their free time to the project.

Sure you can look up the old messages. The link is attached to every
mail that comes via the list.

You find the archives of 23 years(!) here:

Happy reading. :)

email is a promising technology for the 21th century! ;) 
It's distributed and resilient, not owned by anybody, no proprietary 
codes, platforms, apps or protocols, most compatible among users and 
operating systems. Even running your own mailserver is relatively easy.
Please keep this list.

Horses for courses perhaps. But I get way too much email, and personally find
book marking a current web conversation much easier.

Moreover, I don?t want my email address shared with a massive (presumably) list,
so I have to use a ?throw away? address, which is added hassle. Especially when
said email address (Apple hide my email in this case) won?t let you use the same
address to send to multiple addresses - so I had to spoof a message to
?user-request@? so that I could use it to send further emails to ?user@?. I?ve
been on the Internet a looong time, and these old mailman style things aren?t
that common these days. I am involved in a lot of community projects though, so
I do understand the need for cheap and platform-less.

Probably for the reasons I?ve outlined ;) I don?t know who these emails are
going to, or where and how they are being archived. I deal with a few Icecast
servers, for community projects. I?m also a dev, and my name is Jem, so happy to
meet you.

Back to my point ;) That?s a lot of email addresses which can be harvested!
