The delete key works for most.

I agree completely. The last thing I want is a forum format instead of
an email reflector. Groups.io is not a forum; it is a reflector just
like Yahoo but like Yahoo has a web interface that is entirely optional
to use or not, else it works like MailMan.

I own and moderate numerous Yahoo Groups and all are completely reliable
despite so many claims of problems. I rarely visit the Yahoo Group
website and only when I must make Group membership changes. Else, I read
the Group emails with Thunderbird.

I see no point to change things for the sake of change. I use
Thunderbird and my painless delete key. I definitely don't want a web
interface...

Sending and receiving email does not require an Internet browser!
Thunderbird (it's free) as a local client is very capable and reliable.

You need to realize that there are *17* lists hosted at Contesting.com
run on the MailMan software. Tower talk is not the *only* consideration
here.

In addition to the MailMan lists at Contesting.com, there are over 500
(public) amateur oriented lists using MailMan software on QTH.net.

Reflexively abandoning MailMan for TowerTalk after 22 years would be
absurd and offer nothing of value other than a useless (IMO) web
interface.
