[oi-dev] [OpenIndiana-discuss] F*ck Yahoo, AOL get us back our mailing lists

[OpenIndiana Developer mailing list]

Nikola,

I understand and sympathise with your frustration, but please consider:

Many people (or so I gather) have a long history with their mail provider,
"everything" they've written and received in a long time is there. Moving
to a different provider for a few mailing lists may present some of them
with a (emotional/technical?) hurdle that may actually stop them from
moving.
