Because it works.

Because GMail is able to make sense of all threads/groupings on a mobile phone.

Because of GMail search is awesome on email.

Because one can check what is going on in the community quitr fast that way.

Discord being cool for more direct interaction.

Now, why is it you seem to complain about this or that in about every thread?��

Content looks like interesting but tone comes across as pretty conflictual. That makes me ��just label you as a bore and not care about anything, which is contrary to your apparent intent.

Lots of people on this list are in the industry for decades and have shipped product on various scales.

TL;DR please behave.

@about this forum at world.st

I have a lot of forum experience from studying "forum psychology and
sociology" in three different language and in various forums run by very
different software but I have never come about any system that is *nearly as
crappy, sick and idiotic as this one here*:

- various message don't show up here
- masses of emails that I am not interested in are polluting my email client
(and I will stop this silly downloading tonight by directing them straight
into the delete folder)
- and one is never informed if there is any reply to one's posting, which is
standard on almost all forums and comment part of blogs
- and there is no chance to directly reply to some post
- thus there is no branching of the subjects
- which makes following a sib-thread most difficult

I am neither going to write answers in my email clent, not will I continue
to pollute my system with 99% unwanted messages.

I just ask myself: Why are Smalltalk people with the "best" IDE of all using
such a crappy system!?

Mailing lists are something - in my view - soooo much outdated and just a
pain in the....!

Now: Hunt me, shout at me, call me whatever you want! That's fine by me. It
would be the normal reaction of a crowd if a new sheep dares to criticise
what the crowd has been doing for long. I don't care!

Regards
Frank
