Re: [ripe-list] The Future of Discussion Lists

there used to be, and i assume still are, irc channels where net ops hang out. that no one here mentions them may be a clue. one issue may be scale. a chat medium with a dozen or so folk is viable. we have a slack with a small cabal who admin a few pops, and it works well. a chat with a thousand net ops would likely have volume and s:n to deter most folk execpt the underemployed. heck, this list often causes me to use thread-delete. randy
