Hey Gary,
I agree with Linn...I've enjoyed your TeamGrumman list. It provided a good place
for discussion of our grummans without all the bs on the gang....
Hope you change your mind and leave the list up. I like its privacy compared to
the pervasive Facebook.
Best wishes,
Ned

Linn & Ned,
Thank you for your support and encouragement. Most of what anyone does goes unnoticed.
I think what you are missing on Facebook is the flexibility of it. For example,
you dont need to use your own name. You can be anyone you want. Another example
is, you dont HAVE to add friends. And, friends you do have, you dont have
to follow.
That last feature is interesting. If you add, say, 50 friends, you can unfollow
49 of them and only get posts from the one person you care about. I have 98
friends on my Facebook page. I would venture to guess only about 20 follow what
I have to say. Although, I may be following the ones that dont follow me.
For example, I worked with a guy who was a right wing radical follower of Rush
Limbaugh and who currently supports Trump. His wife, on-the-other-hand, is
a Bernie supporter. So, you see, it can be interesting. I never exchange conversation
with my ex-coworker. The wife and I have a lot in common.
I also follow Subarugears, 187th Infantry, Grumman Owners and Pilots Association
(mine), AuCountry Aviation, Korat Alumni of the 56ARRS, Yakota Group, Lamar
Walden Automotive, Flying Panthers, VW T25 T3 Vanagon, Chip Foose, Overhauling,
Batanes Mountaineer, Patch Adams, The Bugatti 100p Project, American Yankee
Association, Keith Olbermann, PowerBlock TV, Veterans Project for Fallen Soldiers,
Elizabeth Warren, and a dozen others.
The thing is, I get updates on things like the full scale model of the Bugatti
100p and Patch Adams (see the movie starring Robin Williams, its a true story)
and many other groups, with little more effort than a login to Facebook.
And, you dont have to reply or comment on anything.
There are 173 followers on Facebook. Several make comments. Some add pics of
their own.
I havent many comments on TeamGrumman-List in 15+years.
The only thing I dont like about Facebook pages like AuCountry Aviation is that
I cant read the comments directly. I have to click on one of the buttons to
read others comments. A little annoying.
To the best of my knowledge, there are two followers on TeamGrumman-List.
About the -list. I also follow six other -lists on Matts pages. Other than an
occasional comment about Lycomings, those are dead too.
If you can follow on Facebook, thats great. If not, I will miss your support.

Hi Gary,
Sorry to see you abandon the list. Facebook is simply too annoying to
use as a serious communications tool.
E-Mail that comes into my Inbox gets checked several times per day, and
there is very little effort or time to consume and respond if necessary.
Facebook, on the other hand, requires a concerted effort to go check
the pages you are interested in. The "feed" on a Facebook account is a
joke, and full of ads and other cruft I don't care to waste my time
seeing.
There is no way to sort and filter the information that you want to
see, and no way to archive any important messages, which are especially
useful to reference when out in the shop working on something.
I do check Facebook maybe once per week to see what some people are
doing, but I know I miss a lot of posts, and it is very clear that it
has no intrinsic value like a dedicated mailing list does.
My half cents, fwiw,
-Dj
