Progress is inherently a process of vulnerabilities to perceive and manage. If it does not move at a speed that precludes perfection, it may not advance at all. I am reminded of the saying that a

Ha. Not so sure about that. Heard about the giant Microsoft hack? Even Microsoft can't say whether the Russian hackers changed their code or their updates or their cloud storage or anything else. We

Hi Shal, Internet operations are obviously infinitely more complex than most of us know, or want to know; and yet it behooves us group owners and moderators to widen our perception and perspective to

To put it another way, large - scale over - quoting ratchets up (in this case) Groups.io's costs, or have misunderstood? Chris

Looking at recent posts, and picking out some points made It is a very basic IT/DataProcessing concept that it's all based on bits - storing, changing, copying them - and it's those that drive the

Hi WRB, The total size of data communicated may not be that much different. But the total burden is likely less for Digest because there would be up to 12 messages represented in a single digest. So

Hi Shal, Thanks for the response. You said: "What matters is how many of your members are on Individual messages: one posted message becomes a burden of up to 875 outbound messages, or 777 in the

** How many users does gio currently have? ** What average $$ donation return would it need to be profitable to the level Mark needs if, say, there was a 2% return on a quarterly or semi-annual

Yahoo's further demise also heightens groups.io's attractiveness and value by cementing its place as unique. -- J Messages are the sole opinion of the author, especially the fishy ones. My

Pete, Agreed, with one caveat: The definitive statement in the original post notwithstanding, I don't think "the new pricing framework" is yet cast in stone - Mark's continued involvement with this

Superficially attractive, certainly. but it includes a major flaw. I have 2 email addresses immediately available, and I could set up 4 or 5 more without it costing me anything. That would

Just one last point. My comment is really a response to some posts on this thread that seem to imply that Mark is entitled to cover his costs, or maybe make a little money for his efforts. That's fine
