I would personally prefer using a more “modern” platform such as Google groups, Slack, Facebook groups, etc..
However, one must also recognize that the strength of LincolnTalk - and the reason why it has been so successful in our little town - is its simplicity. Yes, it is frustrating, particularly with the daily “summary” emails, when folks reply without editing-out no longer relevant pieces of a message-thread, or when someone replies to a thread without checking to see if they’re restating something that was already said, but that’s the price we pay for having a solution that is usable by nearly everyone without the need for dedicated software or more than a bare minimum of computer skills. Moving to any other solution would compromise that, and would likely make LincolnTalk inaccessible to a big chunk of the current Lincolntalk community. -Allen Vander Meulen Beaver Pond Rd > On Nov 14, 2022, at 11:32, Laura Koller <laura.kol...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Could consideration be made for replacing the LincolnTalk listserv's > antiquated format with Slack, or some other "modern" group communication > platform?
