Facebook is a commercial operation that is out to mine data from its users. I’ll stick with the Rietveld listserv.

Davide From: alan.he...@gmail.com<mailto:alan.he...@gmail.com> [mailto:alan.he...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Alan Hewat Sent: 08 June, 2015 11:14 AM To: davide levy Cc: rietveld_l@ill.fr<mailto:rietveld_l@ill.fr> Subject: Re: Powder Diffraction Discussion Group on Facebook I can understand that people have different ideas about the ideal format for discussion, and for some of us email may seem a little "old fashioned". I suppose we could also use Twitter or any of the other social chattering forums. But multiple groups on the same subject disperses the available information, and it would be good to have some kind of consensus rather than individual initiatives. The advantage of the Rietveld mailing list is that contributions aren't anonymous, it is not commercial and no use is made of users' information, publicity is limited, and there is a structured archive of discussion that is open to all, even those who don't have an account. I myself simply inherited the list, but think it worth maintaining, and would discourage members from posting to multiple groups on the same subject. Alan.
