[Dixielandjazz] To All DJML Members

[Marek Boym]

Who speaks of risks?
Although a bit younger, I am all the way with Bill and Steve: I am a rather
private person, and would have nothing to do with a "social network."  I
haven't Facebook now, and do not intend to in the future.  So, should DJML
go FAcebook, I'll be off the list.
Cheers
