Actually, listserv is probably the best of the available technologies.

I would drop out if that happened. We could use a better technology, we
don't need a more popular but less useful technology.

I'm not sure what you're saying there. With e-mail you can put comments

>it is easier to add photos etc,

Not everybody has broadband.

>search the archives

Listserv has an archive facility.

>Lest anyone think I am some young techie,
