Ok so this is interesting in one way, but thinking of

no in a profit context, but in a customer context. Is there really a demand
for this service.
I say there is. *We* (as in hams) have total ownership of the current
mailman list and BK does a fine job with maintaining it as Chris does
with the amprnet portal.
Those of you that are anti Facebook ect maybe
don't
understand that groups like this exist in massive numbers in the social
media sphere.
Me personally, I'm against UNsocial media period, and I won't touch it
and to suggest for anyone to be forced to use it I find quite offensive
in nature.
Examples:
Ham Radio Operators 19,833 members
100watts and a wire FB group 8,105
Amateur Radio QRP 9,105
Amateur Radio UK 5,900
Amateur Radio 18,130
Fox Tango 3,487
When you view those numbers and compare them to the number of licensed
hams world wide, I think you'll find that to be an extremely small
number.
My point/though is this idea just inventing a really
great buggy whip while
everyone is driving cars?
What we have now I find to be a smooth sailing as taking a sunday drive
in a Bentley where-as having to use a browser and a dis-service such as
DeFacebook with any browser loaded with what I consider as bloatware
(and most quite insecure) equal to driving through Manhattan NY during
traffic hour in a VW Beetle with 8 people inside.
Devils advocate
Thanks for that. Ever google: facebook law suits ??
This NOT a company I support.
... just my $0.02 back at ya :)

I used to be a heavy gambler. But now I just make mental bets.
That's how I lost my mind.
