[Talk-us] Slack: Do we need an Alternative (was Planning an import, in Price George...)

[Doug Hembry]

I stand with Greg Morgan and Rihards on this one (and I think, Steve, if 
I remember rightly). I watch my email, and read the messages and digests 
from the talk lists. I'm old-fashioned and don't even use a smart phone 
or any social media (probably the only person in California who 
doesn't). I'd noted what seemed to be a drop-off in talk-us messages, 
and wondered where everyone had gone, but I'm not signing up for Slack 
or any other apps just to keep in touch. If the talk-us community is 
migrating to Slack, then I'll just get used to being out of the loop. A 
pity, but I don't have time to change my habits, and like some other 
correspondents I have a gut suspicion of for-profit corporations.
