My Fellow AoIRistas I wholly agree with Holly and am wondering if there is a better platform for these kinds of discussions than a good old listerserv that AoIR might consider as an alternative. Thoughts? Also, what is "the Discourse discussion"? I know Axel mentioned it in his missive on methods. Is he referring to Discourse the gaming comm platform or some other "Discourse" place/site/platform?

This list often stimulates my thinking and helps me feel a sense of belonging within the academic community. As always, my thanks, Peter On Thu, Feb 28, 2019 at 10:24 PM Richard Forno <rforno@infowarrior.org> wrote:
I agree w/Holly (and have also managed many *very* high volume lists over the years). These active discussions - when they come up - are useful, thought-provoking, and make our tribe's list more than just a dumping ground for CFPs and job postings. Sure, some topics interest me, others do not, but either way I just peruse them @ my leisure. After all. that's what e-mail filters/rules and folders are for! :)

As someone with a heavy teaching load in a school where research isn’t particularly valued, and as a person who managed air-l for seven years, let me add that I have very much appreciated reading this discussion. It’s useful, relevant, and to me, what makes air-l vital. It could just become an announcements only list used to circulate CFPs and job announcements – and it sometimes feels like that what air-l is – but I and many others would hate that. I’m not at a university where I can have this sort of discussion with my colleagues. I rely on air-l instead.

I agree with Jean. I have to be honest, I delete a chunk of list serv stuff due to being busy, but every now and then something catches my eye - like this and I engage. I also read a lot and don't engage. I've been reading the ethics stuff viz screenshots for example but not felt the need to post (so unmanly). I like the discussion aspect of the list here. Maybe I'm old fashioned. But without the discussion, it becomes just a space we post in without engagement, and I’m not so much interested in that. I like when we raise issues and chat about them. I can easily delete stuff I don't mind wading through discussion threads if I am interested. I delete what I am not bothered about (sorry folks!). For me the list is a touch point, to keep connected with a community in the midst of (in my job) management, in another context I could imagine (a heavy teaching load in a school where research and educational enquiry isn't valued. Different channels for different folks I say. There I just said what Jean said, but used more words and space, because I'm a chatterbox - and likely coz I'm a man. Sorry folks/jean for manspreading virtually - but I hope this helps.
