Usenet was migrated to Google Groups for some reason, and it's very difficu= lt to search for anything of particular interest using that site. Not to mention that Google Groups also contains a larger amount of spam (w.= r.t value), so arguably the moderation burden will be higher. It is necessary to try to find a way to keep the discussion on a mail serve= r, since a migration off of it will render many users' email clients useles= s for this purpose. - Ali > On Mon, 13 Nov 2023 18:51:26 +0000, alicexbt wr= ote: > > Hi Overthefalls, > > +1 > > Using google for bitcoin mailing list is not good.

The fact that ev= eryone gets a copy of the data, there is no single central authority that c= an edit emails once they have been sent out.
