What do you like about the Listserve?
I love how vulnerable people make themselves on the Listserve. It is far more engaging to me when someone tells a personal story in their email. I love getting a snapshot into someone's life, even if the total context from that story is missing.
What do you NOT like about the Listserve?
When people use it to self-promote or give cliche advice.
Why are you interested in this project?
I am currently taking a Community Organizing class in my graduate program which has gotten me thinking a lot about the issues we face and what steps we can take to try and solve those issues. I never thought of the Listserve as a "community", however, we must have some shared value that has led us to want to sign up for this. So we must be a community! Which means we can accomplish some sort of positive change in a world with problems that seem impossible to tackle alone.
