[Freeswitch-users] Retiring the FreeSWITCH Mailing list

[John Covici]

This is very bad for me, I have lots of problems with these forums --
very not accessible and very clumsy.

Often I can't even navigate these things.

I don't think I have proper credentials -- I have a signal wire
account somewhere, but don't use it that much.

I have been using this platform for many years and I don't want to use
any other platform.
