Conducting GNHLUG business on Facebook (was Stop! Unix Time)

[Michael ODonnell]

 [ Dang!  I was naively hoping I'd be able to post this before too
   many folks had a chance to respond to my message from last night. ]

Executive Summary: I've changed my mind (sort of)

I shot from the hip after seeing that article about Facebook within
minutes of seeing that other GNHLUG posting.  Now that I've slept on it
(and had my clarified perspective echoed by a number of the irritated
responses here) I remembered TANSTAAFL and regret allowing my personal
annoyance with Facebook to cloud my reason.

Sorry about that.

I should have kept in mind that the GNHLUG is quite lucky to be provided
with "free" mailing list services and that a number of other LUGs likely
have to use lists hosted by Yahoo or Google, which have similar signup
requirements as Facebook.  Here's hoping I remember to count to ten
before posting next time...
