Greetings, friends, allow me comment on this topic and after having seen all the comments, I would like to express too. Many of us who are already time in the Amprnet understand the rules to be followed by our great friend Brian Kantor as proyect lider who for many years now does much to keep the Amprnet 44 together with many contributions from many other colleagues. Gentlemen, the world has advanced a few years since IRC, Usenet, etc, we are in time to think that social platforms are now important or more than before, more powerful than the conventional ways of communication, and I think, that we should use for Amprnet chat in privately (private group). If the information is more confidential for any reason the social networks are not used, and exits now other routes that are used now. But Facebook, for example, would serve to us as a more "real" link between all the Coordinators and people with whom we can share general information of this activity of this tecnical HOBBY and sure may to grow in friends and should not be confused with our professional activities in this environment. In my case I would like to have contact via Facebook with Brian or any Regional Amprnet Coordinators and have a more relaxed arena to be able to speak general topics of our Hobby. 73 de Gabriel YV5KXE.
