BTW it's far more efficient than email is for this type of list. Believe me I like email and loved nntp before that, but like another poster mentioned, a lot of do about nothing!! Change is inevitable. I highly suspect that the experts that know GIMP well, like offnuts etc., will be on the Discourse list. So that's where I'll be. I don't like the old type of web forum, but Discourse is extremely good and I wasn't sure I'd like it, when Gnome moved over several years back. But I had to eat my words and found it to be better than email, and I'm more comfortable in a term than a Goey! Whatever, some people just can't handle change.

Why splinter up the user lists? You do realize that its where the experts go that is important, not you the user who needs the help! Crazy how you folks over react as if the sky is falling. Discourse is great for user support and it doesn't work well as an email subscriber list. I read the emails from Discourse, but if I want to reply I just click the link in the email and respond directly on discourse. It's not like web forums of old. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
