Well, I don't think there is anything wrong with screen captures,
particularly when the question has to do with configuration of software,
but I'm basically sympathetic to Joe's points, particularly regarding
added search complexity.

Unfortunately, in the last 30 years amateurs (like the rest of society)
have become too lazy to express themselves in text mode. They simply
must have their html mail with all of the screen captures, pictures,
graphic decorations, etc.
Thus we have seen the proliferation of alternates to towertalk, amps,
elecraft, etc. and a wholesale relocation of many other old time lists
to web based services like groups.io and google groups. This "dumbing
down" has brought two problems ... the information is now spread into
multiple locations (making it harder to find for those who bother to
look instead of lazily asking the same question for the n-hundredth
time) and opened the average person to significantly more security
threats hidden in the html and image codes.

It strikes me as severely counterproductive to have two Towertalk
reflectors. I have been on towertalk@contesting.com for almost 30
years, and find its archives invaluable.

There appears to be two different 'Tower Talk' reflectors. The one
I have directed this email to, and the other is TowerTalk@group.io
How does one find message history in the TowerTalk@contesting? It
is straight forward in the group.io
