    Excuse my ignorance but I don't see the distinction between the two. The Mailman lists like this one all have administrators that can moderate the list which means that some stuff doesn't get posted (censored) based on their particular agenda. The contesting reflector is moderated while TT is not.

    It sounds like there are some minor (?) problems with groups.io but IMO the benefits far outweigh the problems.

PS - Someone mentioned no ads on groups.io. While there aren't any commercial "ads" on TT, I don't discourage anyone from posting about some offer that may be of interest to TT'ers. After all, over half of what's discussed has to do with buying something.
