[Dixielandjazz] To All DJML Members

[J McClernan]

I agree with Steve. IMHO facebk is much too invasive and not to be trusted. A long-time friend who used to work for a well-known computer company and now works for fb, told me he wouldn't have a fb account for all the tea in China. What we have learned through the lamestream media about fb's business model is just the tip of the iceberg.....so he says.

The only place I can think of worse than fb would be to move the list to googlgroups. If any such move happens, I'm gone.
YMMV.

I agree with Kit Johnson re: consideration of Facebook as a viable
alternative delivery mechanism for the DJML.  A "Closed Group" which
requires an invitation and approval by an administrator to join could
actually be a very workable idea, and would expand what can be shared in
terms of attachments, videos, etc.

A lot of us wouldn't join Facebook at any price.
I think it would be a foolish move.
