Don't get your shorts in a knot, Gary; I merely said that it's a shame that he chose Facebook to host his pictures instead of one of the many other sites which do not require logging in and joining, thereby excluding a number of folks like myself from seeing and presumably enjoying what he has to show.
Most people are aware that quite a few people will not or can not join Facebook, and when they want to share something with folks outside that walled garden they choose a universally accessible site instead. m ----- Original Message ----- From: Gary Weber To: Model 100 Discussion Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2016 9:41 PM Subject: Re: [M100] my Model 100 facebook group Wait, we're not really going to debate the merits of the existence of a Facebook group, are we? Is the point that just because not *everyone* is on Facebook, people shouldn't create Facebook groups because it cannot include everyone? Rubbish. If the people already on Facebook want to have a group to talk about a certain topic, they should have that freedom. Just like the people who are into HAM radio can have discussions across their own medium, that also excludes people that *DON'T* have a HAM license.

Estimation? I can anonymously browse this mailing list without having to "you must log into blah to continue" from several sources. I can't do that with this Facebook group. Even with public ones Facebook keeps badgering me to log in to continue. It's a walled garden, and has always aspired to be one. -- Regards, Daryl Tester Handcrafted Computers Pty. Ltd.
