Dear all, I'd also like to add my view on this. I prefer the email group from which I learned immensely in the last couple of years. There is one other instance in which I found out that Facebook can be helpful (connected to my current research topics), but I tend to dislike public postings and those rather trivial or simplistic pictures or emoticons most users feel inclined to use as their means of expression. While some postings and reactions may appear appealing they are also highly annoying and repetitive. I personally prefer the informative and friendly format of this email group. of course, a majority may decide upon it and I am willing to accept what most members decide,
