RE: Br¡n: On Frackin g and Eart hquakes

Two problems with the Brin list.

First, each message keeps coming up with the name of the individual sender as primary and warning me "This may not be *trustworthy*! Do you want to mark it as safe?" 

Each individual sender? Give me a break!!! ,  And I note that hitting "Reply" actually does send it back to the list. The Almacks list, out of the U.K., does the same thing. My Yahoo-groups lists don't.

Second, the real discussion seems to be happening on his blog, in the comments. 

For what it's worth. I don't do social media, having [begin rant] been "poked" (hideous, intrusive act) too many times by people who call up a puzzled "Do I know you and from where?" without any way to check their profiles before (hideous word) "friending" them. Not to mention being bombarded with exhortations to play Farmville, and "See how many people want to date you!" (Yeah. Right.) And sales pitches, since every salescritter on the planet uses such media as their primary means of communication. [end rant].

Yeah.  Seems to work, too. :)


Wonder how many people are left on this list? Such an oldfashioned mode of communication and info-gathering… ;)

Not that I'm keeping up with the new ways much… I try, life is just way too busy right now with 3 kids & full time job & setting up the Dutch B-Society to spend much time figuring out how the frack FB works or posting every thought I have on Twitter…

Hi.  It's good to hear from you.  

I think a lot of us still lurk, but it's hard to keep a conversation
going.
