Dear Bukowiners, It’s interesting to read the discussion about Facebook possibilities. Personally, I feel that the group in its present format is highly valuable, and since we would inevitably lose members in a move to Facebook, I’d also like to keep our Czernowitz-L email discussion group in its present format. Besides, there are already several Facebook groups for Jewish Bukovina, the Czernowitz Jewish Cemetery, Gura Humora Jewish Community, Romanian Jews, and more.
Edgar, Jerome and I recently made some changes to help perpetuate our group postings for anyone wishing to search for specific information, or anyone doing historical research. To us, our archives of postings are a treasure trove of information. Recent changes have also allowed for non-Plain Text postings, as well as attached files under 1MB in size. David points out that Facebook posts are difficult to search, and I’d agree. You can find our own mailing archive at the bottom of this email, and older postings can be found on the Czernowitz.ehpes.com website. I’m reassured to hear that a number of members enjoy and value this group; I’ve learned so much for all of you. Warmest wishes always, Bruce Reisch (list owner) From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Dana Radler <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, November 23, 2021 at 9:18 To: CZERNOWITZ-L <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [czernowitz-l] Facebook 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, kind regards Dana On Tue, 23 Nov 2021 at 14:52, David Glynn <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: The idea of switching this email list to Facebook has been mooted. I am a member of several Facebook groups. I find the presentation, and the ease of inclusion of photographs, seductively attractive. But, in my view, Facebook has disadvantages which render it unsuitable for this group. * I find the order of posts extremely confusing. * Once posts have receded into the past, it becomes more and more difficult to find them. This negates part of the purpose of this group, which is to serve as an archive regarding Czernowitz. * What is the situation regarding copyright and intellectual property? I have not read the small print, but I would not be surprised to find that all the content belongs to Facebook. * In which case, it is not impossible that the whole archive might disappear at any time.
