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

I don't understand the caution against "trying something new." Isn't
going to discorse also trying something new? I am not familiar with
any of these things, but judging from what I have read of the
responses of people with experience, it sounds like there are options
that are guaranteed to have better, more consistent, and similar
results to our current way than discorse. What is wrong with "trying
something new" that has a higher probability of working as we would
like? Confused.
