I like being able to communicate with the group.
I will even be going on drives soon.
But I will not use Facebook. Ever!

Subject: [NOBBC] Resurrected Facebook page
Hello Members,
Yesterday I received an email from member Dan Drummond, who has taken over
as administrator of the Facebook page that was originally started and
administered by Ron. After Ron's death, I spent months working with his
widow to try to transfer the FB page over to me or someone else in the club,
but was denied. FB wouldn't close the account, only lock it - even after
insisting I send them a death certificate and an affidavit from his widow
and myself, and after many emails and phone calls.
During our recent group discussion of the merits and shortcomings of the
various club sites we are using and that may be available, there were
several who expressed concerns or dislike with FB, and several who expressed
satisfaction with it, but nothing came of any of the discussions. This is
just one more reason why I don't like FB, and why I won't use it - Dan could
have been anyone, not even affiliated with the club, but was able to take
over what was supposed to be a locked account.
I've excerpted relevant parts of two emails from Dan, since he does not use
the Yahoo group:
I was nosing around Facebook this morning and just for ducks, clicked on the
old NOBBC page that Ron used to manage. A window popped up saying the group
needed an admin and asked if I wanted to be it. I clicked on yes so I think
I'm the new admin.
I have no gripes with Facebook. I belong to two groups that use it (one
group that I manage and one that I do not) and it works quite well. It kind
of seems like the PC versus Mac debate. People like one and hate the other.
FWIW, I've always found the Yahoo group site difficult to navigate to the
point I gave up on it.
Please express your thought on this matter to the group.
