Hi Folks!
Instead of moving to another platform that exists to sell our demographic
metadata, why not just have a file reference server for info of lasting import.
Allow a moderated upload with vetting before distribution file server host.
Now before you say that is old school and clumsy, we really don't want
attachments that aren't checked out for viruses, do we? Sure there are
attachment checkers, but groups.io and other similar sites don't provide that
functionality.
Additional volunteers with skills and tools will be needed to vet and post
user-supplied attachments. Ask yourself if you are willing to help out?
Merry Christmas All!

Some History
Hi,
A robust discussion with the subject "time to modernize the reflector" was held
on TT in the summer of 2019. If you read the posts, they are much like the
recent ones. Also, in the summer of 2019 a towertalk groups.io was created. It
currently has 135 members with 22 posts in 2021. A move from the current
contesting.com based reflector to groups.io, or another similar service, will
only be effective if a critical mass of TT users move.
