I agree - it's really not going to work with Mike not coming back. One thing I disagreed with Mike about in the past was his publishing of the list contents in an open archive. I do not feel that is conducive for privacy, security and anonymity for anyone. In this day and age we really need to be aware of such things. Especially with a topic where people have been suppressed/harassed/stalked about such as alternative remedies and such.. Speaking as a Senior IT Security Engineer -
I'd be inclined to agree with Facebook with a major caveat... There could be some concerns with privacy and security on Facebook as it's widely known facebook aggregates telemetry with other sources including CIA funded WPP and others. Facebook will offer absolutely no privacy/security and anonymity for anyone.. So if you go there, remember that you'll likely lose people and folks will be less inclined to share their thoughts in an open fashion. Yahoo is definately out of the question as Yahoo themselves built a backdoor into their systems for the US Intel cartels and has a history of 'repeated' hacks. Yahoo should never be considered for anything, even email. Groups.io one is probably the best option for now. But I am convinced Mike isn't ready to give up control even if he isn't interested in moderating or even reading the list. The most simple solution would be for someone to take over this list.. I will assist financially to 'pay the bills' if someone can convince Mike to turn over the reigns.. I think he would trust myself or Marshall to take over ownership because he knows both of us personally. If I took it over I would allocate moderators to assist and advise me and just pay the bills.
