Groups.io has been wonderful. If you are not interested in a thread or topic
(topics can have #tags) you can "mute" it. It saves having to read the follow
on replies about a subject that either doesn't apply or is not interesting to
you.
+1 on groups.io

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] time to modernize the reflector
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..
