Stardate 060211.08:08 -0500. A subspace message from Dan Knight reads:
We're slowly moving the Low End Mac email lists from Maclaunch to
Google Groups, which we see as a real improvment.
Well, that's very disappointing.
I thought I'd found a nice little community-driven mailing list, I
join, and within a week it decides to downgrade and become submerged
in the dank depths of the Grey Empire known as Google.
I've been on four other lists in the past that started off on normal
listservers, moved to Google (or Yahoo Groups in one case) only to
experience frustration in its use, then watch the list stagnate &
eventually die because it become lost in the crowd.
With reluctance I signed up; I sent off my subscription mail, then
confirmed the activation via the web page, and itold me I was now a
member. A few hours later, a question came in from GG, I could answer
it, so I did, and hit send. A minute later, I get an autoreply. "You
do not have permission to post to group g-books. You may need to join
the group before being allowed to post,"
Whiskey tango foxtrot??
Sorry guys, but I'll stick with G-Books on MacLaunch until it dies.
You won't see me on Google, because frankly, it sucks more than
Microsoft.
