Stop Being Carbon

I’m subscribed to some mailing lists about parallel programming and MPI (which I needed for my bachelor thesis). People on these mailing lists are great, helpful and the whole experience is just dulled by the actual mailing list. Here’s why:

• You will get tons and tons of emails once you are subscribed (you’ll only read ten percent of it because you have dozens of other mails in your inbox)
• You will never be able to gain knowledge about the subject from past conversations because they are either not searchable or hidden behind monthly archive links.
• Even if you’re actively following a conversation, it’s difficult because your mail program will not put them in the right order.
• Did I say that you get loads of email?
