Oh Yes... OSLIST started as a phone operated bulletin board. And for sure it doesn't exist in 4 colors/touch screen. BUT it has probably existed as long or longer than any competitors, is searchable, carries the thinking/sweat/arguments of those who discovered living in Open Space (that would be 1000's) and Harold (the most recent curator) has done a marvelous job. Thanks. Could it be better? Sure... but it has worked for ? (20??)years! And please don't fix it if it ain't broke...
