[Beowulf] And where is Beowulf/Cluster discussion activity these days

[Jörg Saßmannshausen]

Dear all,

I agree. I quite like email lists as you can search them and, depending 
how you set up your email account (POP/IMAP) you still got access to it 
years later. That is not always the case with Slack for example. So for 
me they quite often serve as a local archive, which cannot easily 
manipulated which seems to be a 'thing' now.

Another reason why I find email lists better is: most of the time people 
are using clear names, which is not always the case in Slack for 
example. Sometimes for good reasons.

An yes, I might be a fellow dinosaur as well!

My main problem these days is: way too much on my desk with not enough 
time to get things done. So to kick off a discussion here: am I the only 
one who is completely stretched beyond what is healthy, or do it wrong?

At least one positive thing of being a dinosaur is: retirement is on the 
horizon!

All the best from a grey London

Jörg
