I get an email when there is a new message on discourse. In fact the last one I got was about this list being online again. I can see the benefits of either way, but not both. On Wed, Dec 25, 2019, 4:31 PM Jeremy Utley <jerutley@gmail.com> wrote:

This list has sailed... It's counterproductive to have multiple locations for the same discussions. While I'm still getting used to the the discourse forum I see the benefit of having everything in one place. I get an email advising me of new topics. It seems to work OK.
Yeah, it works ok, if you want to have to remember to visit a website every day if you want to be a part of the community. Before I got busy with $DAYJOB, I used to try to help people out on the mailing list, when I'd see a question I could answer. Now, that's impossible to do, unless you go to the website every day. With a mailing list, you can filter off the messages, come back to them a month or 3 down the road and catch up on what's happening. I honestly have gotten tired of trying to be part of web forums - I have limited time on the computer, I can't spend it jumping around between multiple forums.
If you want to use the forum, great. But do not keep those of us who *DO* want to stick with a mailing list from doing so! If the AllStar "management" (last time I heard this was an open-source community, not a dictatorship) had given people warning, maybe we could have steered them in the right direction.
