Would a FB page or locked blog allow us to choose which discussions we wanted to participate in and when? As opposed to getting zillions of emails?  If so, I am all for it. 



But, I love FB.

It need not be Facebook per se.  A locked blog would work as well, probably better.  The chief advantage would be the ability to skim the posts quickly and cherry-pick the discussions one wants to follow.  (Despite everyone's best efforts, this has not happened on the mailing list.)



NB, the security/privacy issues on FB wouldn't exist for a locked page anyway.  (In general,  I have yet to see such an issue that couldn't be resolved in five minutes by flipping the settings.  But I get it that people are cautious.)

I may be the only one, but I don't use Facebook and am not interested in starting.

E-mail is a 1990s mechanism for our discussions.  What would people think of shifting to something like a Facebook group?  The discussions would be easier to follow in one stream.  Just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this.
