[JMS] Should JMS move to Facebook?

[Don Buska - The Radio Lab Works]

Just wanted to jump in quickly.  First to say the responses have been 
great and I'm pleased to see that so many of our members are actively 
reading the reflector posts.  Second to address David's comments below.  
It is not my intention to make any changes to the JMS website.  That 
will stay as is and continue to provide useful Millen related 
information for years to come.

An early observation based on the replies so far.  Since so many are not 
FB users, nor have intentions of becoming users, I will keep the current 
qth.net reflector going for sure!  If Facebook gets added it will indeed 
be a supplement to our current offerings.  I have also looked at other 
services.  I do administrate a Yahoo Group for owners of the old 
Emergency Beacon 2M FM rigs - really not much work, hi.   Also looked at 
Groups.io which is free, but in order to get some really good 
administrative functions it might require a paid upgrade.

Keep the comments coming.  All are welcome.
