Personally, for my startup I don’t use the free service so the comments regarding the free service are irrelevant.
Ot was just a suggestion. If you want to crap all over me for it, then so be it. However, whatever - I’d say Slack’s success speaks for itself. I don’t see how mailing lists are any better than Slack. If you do - then good for you. Such a negative vibe / element of rudeness on this mailing list. Safe to say I won’t be renewing my membership as it would appear that easy / archaic solutions are more appealing to the majority here. Most sysadmins move with the times. Slack might not be the solution but many other more advanced solutions are. If you’re so bothered about security, use PGP. As you aren’t, I don’t see how you can talk as such. Regardless - I was just putting it out there but your rude and responses have just lost you a member. As before - all the best. > On 12 Jul 2015, at 21:52, Allan Irving <[email protected]> wrote: > > We are debating this as an alternative to a mailing list. Don’t get ahead of > yourself.
