1) We need a separate mailing list for campaign issues in campaign season. The back and forth is valuable because I’ve seen one candidate who I’m very glad to not have voted for, more than one I can’t wait to vote against, and clues as to the personal integrity of others. Useful information, but it doesn’t need to be diluting operational satellite conversations, mentoring, and other useful information.

2) I’d throw a vote in for a different communication platform than this legacy bbs format - apparently even very smart people who can get little flying repeaters into orbit can’t understand how to trim their messages - the digests and nearly unreadable when someone posts a three word comment over 400 lines of nested emails.

3) For the pedants among us, yes...I know that I can view the threads in the browser, but when I rejoined AMSAT earlier in the year, I was very enthusiastic at how much useful information I gleaned from the daily digests - lately...not so much.
