David, There is no reason any of this stuff cannot be discussed on CaveTex, if it's on Facebook it's probably more public than you think, it's certainly not going to be private...
Also, if you have a smartphone then you can 'dial up' CaveTex emails and read 'em. You don't need *another* way to access this information. I *know* you're not going to listen but think about this... You know where I work, and we're at least partially responsible for this smartphone/web 2.0 stuff, I >may< have some idea about it all. We have *multiple* internal systems for storing or accessing information here; do you know what peoples most common complaint is? THERE ARE TOO MANY SYSTEMS, WHERE DOES ONE GO TO LOOK UP WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW?! We (used to) have a slogan: KISS - Keep It Simple, Stupid. My 2p.

Below are links to a list of 10 Facebook Groups specifically for cavers in Texas: CaveTex - Newbie Caving Trips: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_203864502982348 CaveTex - Cave-related News: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_131766490234641 CaveTex - TCR: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_105232652902115 CaveTex - Hydrogeology: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_105264919563976 CaveTex - Robber Baron Project: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_214771498544581 CaveTex - WNS: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_132085480203390 CaveTex - Colorado Bend Project: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_132085480203390 CaveTex - Bustamante: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_105246996233625 CaveTex - Border Crossing News: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_131779340233890 CaveTex - Kiwi Sink Dig: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_163901513672524 If you join these groups you will be bombarded with messages and photos, from this group. But all you have to do is click "hide" next to the message when it pops up and you won't receive future pop-ups from the group, but instead will have to click on that group to get updates. If Facebook cavers ( the upcoming generation of cavers especially ) will use these links, then more people can learn about caves and caving and even go underground more often, as they will have all of this detailed info with them at the cave entrance on their smartphone.
