[...] Bad Idea. Been a lurker mostly. Email that I download is mine to keep, index, archive, and free from any political influence. I can refer to these emails several years later. The same cannot be said for GitHub, a "for-profit" entity, owned by Microsoft. If openssl user discussion is hosted on github, several things will go wrong at some point in the future. It is not a question of "if", rather "when". Thank you. -ag
