Same. I find it interesting to hear local opinions, and to follow Greg K's journeys 😊
I'm always hesitant when I see email lists move to anything that looks like a forum. That seems to be where discussions are organised but where they go to die.

I see a few people still posting from when I started, which is a decent track record given the period of time. I'm hesitant in changing anything, just because I likely wouldn't log into a website or whatever else to view the content, and I suspect that old habits die hard for many others.
