Citizendium switched to a web-based forum and I absolutely hated it. I have all my mailing lists accessible in one location. I am not interested in logging in to multiple websites. I'm sure a web-based forum can be made to handle this request. But I haven't seen one that does it yet, only ones that do it partially and half-assedly. Anyway, I've already made my proposal. Create a separate mailing list for low traffic well-thought-out posts, and leave this one here for writing what's on your mind without worrying about what percentage of subscribers are going to like it. Alternatively, put David Gerard in charge of foundation-l, or someone else who isn't going to complain that the list is a cesspool but not be willing to dictate to us what to do about it. Basically, you've got two choices. The second is to get off the pot. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
