Thanks. For me, Facebook was NOT designed as a replacement for a focused BBS. It's designed for short term social interaction, and yes, we do that here too. But what makes this place ideal is the organization, the archiving, and the sheer history of the place.

Want to look up Donny's views on the Tyros1? No problem..! Need a source for an OS floppy for a discontinued arranger? We probably got it. Want to check into how well received an early Solton was? Want to find out who dabbled with a Lionstrac?

I think that Facebook makes organizing a decades long group very difficult, plus throws in to many distractions and don’t get me started about the fake AI profiles and their confrontational postings on any subject you want to discuss! An enormous percentage of Facebook is simply 'bots. Often 'bots arguing with each other! Go to a poster's profile. If all it is is pictures and memes (invariably stolen from a real person's account) it's a dead giveaway. Likewise those profile information fields with NOTHING on them.

I don’t mind being disagreed with, but I'd rather it be a person!
