🗒️ Summary of this message: A warning to the Lightning community to avoid off-topic discussions, as it destroyed the Tor-talk mailing list, leading to a loss of discussion.
📝 Original message:
Lightning list, I really think that you should stop this mess and
reconcentrate on technical topics
The very same did destroy the Tor-talk mailing list
Based on false assumptions as we saw later
Reading bulls all the day, everybody escaped
Result: the Tor community can't discuss any longer
Don't do the same
