I think at least the LinkedIn group is not in this category of removing users from the mailing list, quite the opposite. The LinkedIn group goal is to advertise and show projects and products using NuttX. Many people discovered NuttX thanks our announcements there. There is not a discussion group in the Linkedin, but only a showcase for NuttX. We can turn it off is all people here decide to do so, but I think we will shoot the foot if we do it. Just my two cents. BR, Alan
