Hello All
My thanks as well to Chris, and all of you whose sharings and attention have
made the list so valuable since I joined in 2005.
Looking to the future:
I do hope C-Talk doesn’t migrate to Nextdoor.
I’ve used Nextdoor for years to stay in touch with my physical neighborhood,
which is what the platform is designed for; one chooses which tiny geographical
areas one wishes to broadcast to and receive from.
Nextdoor is full of ads, even more than Facebook. Both those platforms are more
about serving ads than serving information.
And I have ethical objections to Facebook’s content standards and practices, so
I also hope we don’t go to Facebook.
I am on a different list (Copyediting-L) which recently migrated to
*Groups..io* — another of the platforms recommended by Yahoo.
That list remains purely about the subject content, as we have been accustomed
to on C-Talk at Yahoo all these years.
I have no experience with Google Groups, but I have found several other Google
services to be purely about content — aside from bringing you into the Google
ecosystem, where the commercial hook is not directly based on advertising.
Special thanks to those who are contemplating the work of migrating and
managing for the future!
Regards,
Mishra Suloway

Hi Chris,
I'd like to ask for your consent for me to move Constellation Talk from
Yahoo groups to Nextdoor (as suggested by Yahoo groups.)
I am touched by your earnest decision to let go and by welcoming someone else
to take over.
I take it as a selfless act of gifting: giving without asking anything in
return.
In return, without any future obligation or responsibility of your part, I
take it with my own implied obligation
to continue it as it is.
ConstellationTalk is on Nextdoor but the rules which you have developed and
improved over the years will
stay the same as they are.
We now have 2 more members join me, Daniel G. and Anni M. (and more as
needed) to complete the task.
We are duly following the Spiritual Family Constellation tradition;
You are first, we are second.
Constellation Talk will continue to make you proud.
We ask you to smile kindly upon us as we carry on and in due time be a little
better.
Warm Regards,
Tommy Tran
