I assume that this holds today, as well.

I've seen no discussion on the mailing list.

It looks like it's going to be the Kabul Express on Telegram.

Yes.  It fragments the community.

As an old person, I depend on email.

I'm not going to join telegram for one event per month.

I'm on IRC but not GTALUG's channel.

It used to be the definition of TLUG membership was being on this
mailing list!

Back when email was shiny and new, we did a lot of work to keep it from 
becoming a walled garden, and interoperating with all.  I wrote the 
Honeywell GCOS SMTP server to avoid a walled garden.


Microsoft, on the other hand, tried it's best to prevent internet mail 
from making it into MS customers.Alas, the latter is also true of many 
of the other web-based notification systems.


IMHO, if they don't interwork, they don't work, and will go the same way 
the old Microsoft, Vines, Netware and other restricted mail systems did

Evan asked similar on Telegram; I think we're turning Kabul Express
into a habit ;-)
