Thanks, Bill. That is a great link. But I think that some of the list are not sure that using a Facebook group will be as user friendly when it comes to saving threads into folders like you can do with an email account. And as someone already pointed out, some do not want to have Facebook on all the time.
I know for me, the thing I do not like about the change is that email is so easy to manipulate whereas I am not sure that will be the case with Facebook. With email, you are already using your email, the group feed comes automatically so there is no other program to use, you delete what you do not want quickly, you create folders as you need, you save what you want for future use and you can use the "find" search bar to filter your info. Those of us who have little use for Facebook are not sure those features are readily available with Facebook. They may be, but we do not know that is the case. Just my two cents.

That's counter-productive. I have 1,000s of RBASE-L emails going back almost 20 years that I occasionally search and find useful information. Is there a way to search Fb for relevant posts, keywords or users? If not, this move from the list is crippling. And no, I'm not going to stay logged in to FB. I don't trust the Zuck and his social engineering or FB and the snooping around it does - I use FB Container in my browser and don't save passwords. I hope you reconsider and maintain some type of list server. Doug On 12/14/2021 1:51 PM, A.
