<p>OMG! I just came up with the name of my next cluster...
Curmudgeon! No one else take it. I called it! <br>
</p>
<p>Anyone else feeling like Abe Simpson right now? <br>
</p>
<p>“I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now
what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and
scary. It’ll happen to you! <br>
</p>
<p>-- Abe Simpson. <br>
</p>
<p>Of course, if we were talking in Slack, I could just post a meme
image of Abe Simpson with the that text overlaid on it like the
cool kids do, or I could have cut-and-pasted it into this e-mail,
but something tells me that if your still in favor of mailing
lists, you're probably reading this e-mail on a console-based
e-mail client. ;) <br>
</p>
<p>At least I'm "with it" enough to use Thunderbird. <br>

<p>Ugh. I hate Slack and those other "instant message"
apps for stuff like this. My employer pays me to do
work, not spend all day watching messages scroll by in a
chat session. And those apps favor short messages w/o,
so topics needing a long e-mail with details and nuance
suffer. <br>
</p>
<p>Am I becoming an grumpy old curmudgeon, stuck in his
ways and wary of new technology? Maybe. While I ponder
this existential crisis, GET OFF OF MY LAWN! <br>

<div>All Slack channels that people started here for various
interest groups,</div>
<div>died quickly, or dwindled into dispersive "tete-a-tete"
conversations between very few individuals.</div>
<div>[Instead of using an IRC with bells and whistles, they
might as well email each other. :) ]</div>
<div>As Prentice pointed out, most people just don't have the
time to follow those too many channels.<br>
</div>

</div>
<div>Mailing lists are simple, effective, normally have a
wider range of interests, and reach out to a larger
community.</div>

company.]</div>
