The mailing list make messages land in my client, on which I am very efficient, therefore I can check all messages once a day, and respond if I find a worthy topic.
Unless this discourse has some great mail bridge (it doesn't) or maybe an rss feed (I do not use those at work, but I guess I could ?) So that I can skim messages on my terms, I think I (and those like me) will be the next "missing people".
I think I would fall in the same category. The fedora-devel mailinglist keeps me connected to the project even though I rarely reply to messages.
Your own post communicates to me (whether you intended it or not) that in the end the thread that will be generated by this post won't matter, because this is just a courtesy post and you already think that the opinion of the "minority of self selected mailing list lovers and dinosaurs" does not matter much.
Agreed. It was a very long post with several important and interesting observations about communication in a large groups of people. But it felt like it wasn't meant as actually discussing how we can communicate better, but to work towards a conclusion that a specific forum technology should be adopted and get rid of people who use the mailinglist to participate in the project.
Cheers,
Mark
