Re: [Gimp-user] Announcement: this mailing list will be retired by the end of Oct 2022

Hello,

Never posting, but I was (sometimes) reading these lists
via news.gmane.io in thunderbird newsgroups pane.
Thunderbird folders are in my user space,
so it was receiving these talks kind of "at home"
and they were on my everyday mouse's path.

A Discourse wont be on my everyday mouse's paths at all.
I wont probably read these "news" anymore.

But I use Discourse for another FOSS i'm more busy with,
and it's OK as a QA tool.
The mainteners of that other discourse had imported previous email lists
as archives in the Discourse, where it's possible to search them.
Sometime it's usefull.
+ For email afficionados, there is an efficient "receive new posts by mail" setting,
and also a very limited and hazardous "answer by mail" ability
(limited and hazardous because it "cleans" and deletes parts of the posted html+text)
