Well I'm an old fart 71 years of age and If I can deal with discourse I'm sure you can. 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. Pussies! :-) jkg! _______________________________________________ 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
