Hey, Will, do you remember when yuu formed the aapc facebook group? I'm
going to take a look myself, but I know if it's listed there.

We've still got rights on the "Official" name.  Will called his group
the "Facebook Edition."

And created it at least a decade before your second hand knock off,
Green Monkey.
Hth and Hand.

And, let's face it; Will's FB group is as devoid of active members as
Usenet AAPC.

When are you going to understand that the reason for all of the

When you're part of a group, you have to take the wishes of *all* of the
group's members into account.

When members start complaining that Will is spam-posting the group 24/7,
Will has to make a choice: 1) he can apologize, and cut back on the
number of posts he makes, or, 2) he can say "If you're not interested in
what I post, just skip and ignore."

Will chose Door Number Two.  And AAPC regulars decided to skip and

Now you've got Usenet AAPC all to yourselves... and what have you
accomplished with it?  You've racked up 25 years worth of members who've
come to intensely dislike you.

Of course, you've always got your blog to fall back on.  Since it isn't
an interactive forum (AFAIK), you should be safe there.  .
