I have appreciated using a bookmark to quick look at the goings on of FFL on 
the homepage, being able to follow and and also search subject threads there 
within the webpage interface. This also freed up my email account. 

  A value in FFL was in its archive of first-person posts from a larger 
community. Those evidently will disappear in a shifting the burden of hosting 
content to the client?

The problem is many read Yahoo Groups on their phone browser.  They 
probably don't want to deal with email on their phone.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Yahoo Groups shutting down

2019-10-17 Thread cartesiancoordina...@hotmail.com [FairfieldLife] 
Hi,
 

 I am a lurker in this group.  I come by once in a while to see what's 
happening.
 

 Hats off to Rick and others who have had the creative foresight to allow our 
unfolding realizations to have a social outlet.
 

 That single experience of the first meditation blows everybody out of water 
for the rest of their earthly life, and it's great to have a little community 
where we can compare and share notes as we mature in our awareness of what it 
is that happened to all of us.
 

 I hope that some type of group can continue.
 

 I like the simplicity of accessing archives on demand.  Also, at a time where 
every app is jealous of personal info, the anonymity is an important feature to 
retain.
 

 I have no doubt that something even better may show up as that same universe 
that brought us to here will probably continue to surprise and amaze.
 

 Forgive me for being a casual observer of this group.
 

 I know for certain that my relationship to the topic of the room is not casual 
at all and I am sure that is true for everyone who ever showed up here.
 

 Well done everybody,  and thanks for being there for me to lurk.
 

 I want to say I love everybody here...and as one sardonic monk-key buddy at 
Livingston Manor once told me:
 

 "Don't worry, it will pass"hahahahahahaha

 For folks coming in with interest in the meditating community story in 
Fairfield, Iowa, -academics, scholars, and journalists- looking in on 
Fairfield, the archive of FFL has served a useful place to research for 
perspective.  
 I noticed the Yahoo! search functionality has been degrading for a while back 
since Yahoo! was acquired by its new owners.  More recently the sharing of post 
links were being denied. End of a time. FairfieldLife served an important role 
at a time. Too bad the archive will disappear. It was a good run. Thanks all. 
 As transcendentalists in FF say greeting one another, Jai Guru You!
