I know everyone else has already responded to how sad this is but I
thought I should put my response down on the list too.
Although I am not a frequent poster to list, I read it all the time
and have learned most everything I know about Realbasic (and most of
my general programming knowledge) from this list. When I started
reading this list I had no idea strings could even have an encoding.
Realbasic v2 was my intro to programming. Now I sell software online
all over the world and in major retail chains all over the US. The
community that this list has provided has allowed me create software
and learn from others that are more knowledgeable than I.
Moving to a forum is not something I will do. Unfortunately it just
doesn't fit for me.
I am very interested in which new list will be everyone choice. I
hope we can all decide together, having everyone on the list move to
the same new list would at least be one positive outcome.
To RealSoftware, I strongly disagree with this decision and hope that
you reconsider.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We understand
that some people prefer an email-based mailing list to an online

online Forum is the best option for the community.
Thank you for your support.
