Yes just to go back to the Facebook idea and yes indeed Rick mentioned this to me before. The only knowledge I have of Facebook alas is peering over BB's shoulder. But the problem with this route to membership is this... its not an open forum here anymore, more a discussion club. If we opened it all up again we would go back to a situation where every kind of flotsem and jetsom would drift in via the www and it would as a consequence require huge amounts of moderation again and so on. A back to square one scenario.
Ive moved away from that idea preferring the magazine style format now but that takes up all my time, but rather do that than spend my time moderating.
However Im sure all of us would be interested in some new members of the discussion variety, no one liner specialists wanted, so if there is anyone liking to join in, its easy enough just drop me an email. PaulB on

I am sticking to the policy of deleting non active members..the chocolate teapots who are of no use to anybody. Sadly I dont want to do it but use it or lose it...what can you do...I try and encourage everyone onboard to contribute but there are again 5 or 6 that will have to be excluded..no names but they will know who they are. But even so the membership still goes up..slowly.
