Discussion? Maybe, but that "responsibility" **** is for the birds.

The grownups have signed onto Facebook using their real names and
the discussion continues on Facebook roff. The so-called "Giles"
would not be welcome there as far as I'm concerned. Although some
misguided souls have invited the "Wolfgang" persona to participate
there.

I check in on Facebook ROFF from time to time, but have a much harder time
following the discussions in that format vs. the Usenet threaded format. It
would be nice if FB would have viewing options, such as a threaded view, to
make navigation easier. The ability to start with a collapsed view and then
expand or ignore threads accordingly is sorely missed - by me, anyway.

I agree, Tim. Facebook is rather awkward.

Usenet has been around a long time now and I can understand how folks
are used to it.

I guess I'm showing my geezerhood but I remember thinking Usenet was
awkward. There was UUCP and VAX Notes and several other discussion
formats which were better than Usenet but Usenet used NNTP and TCP/IP
so it prevailed. It was much easier to administer than the other,
arguably better, formats.

What I'm saying is, I know what it's like to get used to something
and then being forced to move on. It's happened before and if I live
long enough it'll happen again. No biggy.

It's not about you; it's about me.

I'm happy you avoided jail time in your third world paradise
but I think of you more as an older sister with bitchy issues
than an older brother.

Facebook roff is a forum where folks use their real names, it's
quite a bit different than anonymous Usenet. I think that's a
*good* thing.

YMMV.
