I'm somewhat Facebook-averse, thought I'm not opposed to "Social
Media," per se. Is there another "place" where cavers gather online?
The NSS forums seem pretty slow most of the time, and I never see any
Texans posting there. I was a member of the UT Grotto (I think?)
Facebook Group for a while, but quit it after a while when I got sick
of the notifications. None of them seemed particularly caving-related,
either. So. Serious question. What am I missing that's Texas Caving-
specific on line besides this here listserve and the UT Grotto
Facebook group? I might re-join the Facebook group if that's really
where all the action is.

Ie. it’s a bit of an advancement on CaveTex where all you get
bombarded with is advertisements for LED lights, off-road vehicles
and miscellaneous (supposed) caving events to attend ;-)
