I find e-mail far preferable to slack-like things, certainly far preferable to 
web-like things in general. I have abandoned all social media in the interests 
of living a more pleasant life. E-mail for me is about all that is left. 
However, I am old and rubbish and I don't think the requirements of dinosaurs 
should drive decisions about the future of mammals.

I do think a simple comparison of the traffic on this list and the size of the 
community suggests that something is a bit out of whack. Maybe e-mail is a poor 
tool for discussions; maybe people have nothing to say; maybe a big audience is 
intimidating; maybe dinosaurs are annoying.

It seems very possible that the answer to these kinds of questions lie in 
sociology and not engineering.
