What exactly is wrong with the current system, besides some subscription
confusion from time-to-time?
This e-mail system is fast and comes via a method I already must consult
constantly for work, all day long. No extra time required to see these
chile-heads e-mails means I have the time to see them. And everyone else
who reads e-mail is also getting these e-mails delivered right where they
already are reading, too.
I personally very much dislike groups, including Yahoo groups, because in
contrast to our current method, they are slower to read, slower to delete,
slower and more inconvenient to search, etc., and also require various
extraordinary steps that are inconvenient for me, such as logging into and
checking some website that otherwise has nothing to do with my life.
I don't think of myself as a Luddite just because I don't like slower, more
inconvenient ways of doing something that already works well.
