Oops. My apologies if anyone has the email [log in to unmask]
<http://google.com>. I forgot to remove the hyperlink. Also, if anyone
actually gets to my settings by clicking on "edit your notifications
settings," please don't be tempted to mess with my settings - it's going
to be a long enough day without dealing with that!
Thanks,
Brent

Hello All,
While I like having the MAPS-L Facebook page and believe it can
serve a different purpose than the MAPS-L listserv, I do agree with
others that it shouldn't serve as a redundant mailing of MAPS-L
posts. Until there is agreement on that point, those who have the
same opinion as Nat, Angie, and me, can go to the button in the
upper right-hand corner of the page labeled "Edit Settings" and 1)
uncheck "Also send an email to: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>"
and pick your choice of options by clicking on "To turn off all
group emails, edit your notifications settings
<http://www.facebook.com/editaccount.php?notifications>" and 2)
uncheck "Send me group chat messages." That should take care of
most of the irritations people are voicing.
But I do not think everyone should have to do this and because it Is
an "Open Group
<http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_234712523210223#> —
[log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>" I
would be more hesitant to post messages on the Facebook page, given
that once posted, I lose all control over a message. I think a
little debate about the being an "Open" or "Closed" group would be
healthy.
Let's not blame Susan, however, for taking the initiative to set up
the Group on Facebook. Let's just collaboratively focus its purpose
and objectives.
Best,
Brent

Hi Everyone,
I agree with Nate. I'm not sure what the value is of re-posting
all the
Maps-L postings to facebook. I'm not sure what role facebook
will play
but I'm not enjoying the redundancy. This is certainly
experimental and
will become whatever we - as a group of 1,000 subscribers -
make it.
For now, feel free to post announcement type things - jobs, events,
collections, etc. to facebook but avoid the re-posting of the
personal
comments and opinions. Discussion and chatter at facebook is
certainly
allowed as well though there's been NONE of that yet. Maybe the
facebook
page should just be a chance for members of the Maps-L community
to get
to know one another better - rather than an extension of the Maps-L
email list. Something to consider.
Sue, will you be so kind as to remove Nate's comments from the
facebook
page?
Angie

OK, having now experienced it, I'm going to ask that postings on
MAPS-L
specifically not be echoed to the Facebook page. I'm absolutely
comfortable with the comment I made in response to Hudson Maps'
closing
going out to the email list; I'm less comfortable with it being
broadcast to everybody and their uncle on Facebook. I still support
having MAPS-L auxilliarly on Facebook, but I'd like what gets
posted
here to stay on here without permission (or a "feel free to
repost" note
in the email itself).
Is this unreasonable?
