Facebook Groups for birding - time for a rethink?

[Tony Ashton <>]

Hear, hear. Perhaps Birdlife and other birding groups could take the lead
and link with a provider that allows outsiders access. Then I wouldn't be
forced to have a Facebook account. BTW, FB makes it unduly difficult to
unsubscribe. Then again, Linkedin makes it almost impossible. Same goes for
many others, I guess.

FFacebook, I say,
