Did you know that LISTSERV® turns 35 this year? The software is one of a few rare applications to survive and thrive in the IT space for that long -- that's a lot of love from a lot of customers and users. So the natural question is why? Some straightforward reasons include: * It's the original email list management solution, in continuous development * It uses the highest level of confirmed opt-in for subscriptions * It reflects subscriber and email list best practices * It fosters community through discussion groups * It enables email newsletters and announcements * It's used by all types and sizes of organizations worldwide * It's known for its reliability, scalability and flexibility But there are also deeper, more human reasons because LISTSERV is a platform for support, knowledge exchange, advocacy, collaboration and more. Simply put, LISTSERV helps people and organizations make the world a little bit (or even a lot) better for one another. "We have reached thousands of people and motivated them, either for actions such as attending demonstrations using short-notice alerts or with information distribution on important events and developments." - Moshe Barak Three-decade LISTSERV Administrator and HomeLand Guardians Environmental Activist "The information, advice, and support my husband and I received on the Autism LISTSERV list starting in 1994 were invaluable, and a strong contributor to how well our daughter, a part of that community, is doing today." - Karen Reznek Mother of Abby Reznek, Special Olympics World Games Triple Medalist See key milestones and best practices: https://www.lsoft.com/listserv35years ######################################################################## EmailRules - A LISTSERV Blog for Email Communicators View Blog: http://www.lsoft.com/blog Unsubscribe: &*TICKET_URL(EMAILRULES,SIGNOFF); Contact the EmailRules list facilitators at: [log in to unmask]
