[Air-L] AOIR Discord?

[Paul Levinson]

For what it's worth, I don't think email and listservs are "an outdated way
to share, organize, search for, and apply
information.  People have been saying that for twenty years.  But, to the
contrary, email and listservs are an easy and reliable way to share
important information, and are usually preferable to the proliferation of
sites for this or that kind of conversation.
