As a comment,  I am all for this "upgrade" yes sure I can see where abuse could happen, but i see the better and i think bigger picture of what this affords to us as readers and even casual readers. We cover so many topics and in a good way, we often drill down into the minutia of details, the ability to post pictures or drawings and offer insight, details and contrasting points of experience or views I think would be a greater value and outweigh the negative aspects of staying like we presently are.

Now all this said, would we then have to look at the various advertising content that so often seems to be included to help underwrite the increased capability or features. Therein might come the balance to not changing or upgrading.

Above all thank you for at least broaching the subject and having it..  My 2 cents worth..

A year or so ago, my contest club YCCC moved its reflector to Groups.io.
Today my local club did the same. There are many advantages to this, perhaps
the biggest being the ability to post attachments and upload files that all
members can download. There's also a web interface that members can use
without an email client. I can't think of a reflector that would benefit
more from such capabilities than TowerTalk.

Although Yahoo groups has similar capabilities, it seems that after doing
the research most reflector owners are now choosing  Groups.io.

Steve, any chance you'd be willing to move TowerTalk to Groups.io? I'm sure
there are members who'd be happy to help with the technical details.
