Let me splain that. I do not often use the main Facebook "newsfeed". I use groups. I am probably an active member of a dozen or so. When i opened Usenet there were three groups available on my "subscribed" main page. I use faceook much the same way as i used Usednet for many years previous The four tabs were 3 groups and my notifications. (Glad to see someone besides my self who likes classical music -- through the night i listen to KUSC or KDFC or any of several other choices i have marked for bluetooth streaming) Try this by Ravel for a few moments relaxation -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKkeDqJBlK8 _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
