As an aside, I've long been curious about this assertion. Which is another way of saying, "Folks have been saying new users/digital natives don't like email lists," for about as long as I've been involved in Fedora. So I agree that anecdotally, the assertion seems true. But is that because it's oft-repeated or is backed with data? (I have seen support of this assertion in data over the last decade on the developer relations side of things, but I haven't seen/looked for it on the end-user-who-may-become-a-participant side.)
