[Durham INC] Neighborship

[Phillip Bost]

Will just state briefly that I oppose the use of this software in
communities that already have mailing lists in place, but fully support it
for neighborhoods that don't already have a mailing list set up.
The risk is that some in an established online community will opt in, while
others will not, thereby fracturing the community.

Cheers,
