Many new, young engineers will also feel more comfortable posting on message apps because the group is small, well-known and reasonably private, i.e., they are less afraid about sounding clueless to the whole world, on record, forever.
I think this is at least partially true, but I think it is more not wanting to be disrespected at the time they ask these questions. No one was born with this kind of knowledge, and everyone was clueless at some point in time. Also a permanent public archive is not a requirement of a mailing list even if it is common. Also, at least I often feel like the more casual conversational chat format is easier than emails and this is the case for many of my friends as well. -Cynthia On Tue, Mar 23, 2021 at 9:38 AM Mark Tinka <mark@tinka.africa> wrote:

Especially if you are thinking of people who are just starting out, some of which will be part of the next generation of network engineers.
