And this is why, despite all the disdainful remarks labeling such things as "antiquated", mailing lists and Usenet newsgroups are vastly superior to web sites/message boards/et.al. when it comes to facilitating many-to-many communications between people. Why? Well, there are many reasons, but one of the applicable ones in this use case is that their queues can be written to media, physically transported in/out, and then injected either into an internal or external network seamlessly modulo the time delay. And because the computing resources required to handle this are in any laptop or desktop made in the last decade, probably earlier. If you're trying to get information in/out of a society that is raising network barriers to realtime communication, then you need methods that don't rely on a network and aren't realtime. ---rsk
