This is relevant now because "Mailing List Mode" was recently disabled for<br>

Whether or not the "Mailing List Mode" feature is available it is<br>
not recommended that people use this feature. It is recommended<br>
that instead users watch only the categories that they are interested<br>
in. This will help reduce your own email load and also reduce the load<br>
on the Discourse server (number of emails per month is limited based on<br>
the organization's subscription type).</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Email is critical -- for me, for others. If discourse is not viable (or, not economically viable) when too many people <i>_want_</i> to be emailed "too much", then I don't think this transition as planned should be undertaken.
