End of The Listserv

I opened my email today and found a message from The Listserve, announcing the end of the long running project.

The Listserv was an email based community with a simple premise: each weekday a member of the community is randomly selected and asked to craft a message for distribution to all list members. This was known as ‘Winning the Lottery’. Some of the emails were sad, but each was a privilege to read and I will miss it.

I never did win the lottery though.

The first email is still my favourite.
