[TowerTalk] time to modernize the reflector

[Steve Maki]

I dare say that everyone on this list is also subscribed to a groups.io 
reflector, so they have "tried it".

Also I suspect that many who clamor for a better web based presentation 
of their favorite discussion group have never used a well oiled email 
client (which is of course is a local app rather than a web server) for 
group forums. To some, the internet = a browser = the internet.

This is just to say that the preference of some to keep things the way 
they are is not necessarily an uninformed take on the topic. Note: I 
find it hard to believe that anyone doesn't have the ability to post a 
link to a file that they've dropped into the cloud someplace.

However...reflectors hosted by groups.io can be accessed via regular 
email, so moving that way should not inconvenience us old farts that much.
