My view - I'd probably not go to FB for such lists. FB is far more casual and free for all. I opine it will not work well for such a group. I think FB cannot be moderated either. FB is definitely a great place to attract youngsters. We must use FB collaboratively with our mailing list and not replace one with another. -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
