I'm not on Facebook as I just don't have the time...so I don't really know 
whether or not 
that is part of the reason the List is not getting many posts.   BUT...it could 
be as I know 
I'm not even involved in it .....and I get hundreds of invites....so it has got 
to be very time 
consuming just to keep up.    There is no way I have time for it.
I think the List rules are more than fair and very necessary as has been shown 
more
than once .........when we don't follow the rules.... we have problems.   <G>
( would be great to post photos....but it's a huge list to handle that )
All I know is it sure isn't what it used to be regarding discussions about our 
show
dogs......even though it IS a list for SHOW GSD's.
Used to be great discussions about the Standard, movement, faults, correct 
structure,
what to strive for......what to be concerned about according to what we are 
seeing...shows,
conditioning, grooming........etc.    Hardly see that anymore.   Mostly all off 
topic.
A GREAT group on this List for helping quickly with advice on problems, help 
for almost
any question......willingness to help with almost any problem.
But great in depth discussions about the Breed.........really lacking.     I 
miss that.

I find Face Book like trying to read a bowl of Alphabet soup. All these 
subjects going on at the same time. 
Throw in a few senseless games. 40 Me To comments, pix of grand kids. I just 
don't like it. 
Plus every single time I go there I pick up spy wear. I don't use it at all. 
In fact I wish I could just make it go away. Terry

I have been asked often to join Facebook. The latest was from a top music  
producer.   Today I got a reminder that he asked me to join a network,  I 
think it was something like Linkline.   I just ignore them.
 
I know for a while I was on Facebook because a client wanted me to see her  
audition for Orange County Housewives and to watch it she put me on  Facebook.
 
I got over 300 application to be a friend to people. They were mostly  people 
who I thought I already was friends with, and so I asked my young  secretary 
to get me off the system. 
I have enough to deal with trying to keep up with the List.  I can't  imagine 
where 
I would find the time to do anything else.  I doubt I will ever join a social 
network.
 Either on the internet or in  person. 
I am becomming less social as I get older, and never started out to be a  
joiner.
And, no, I do not want to meet singles over 60, or to find out about  
retirement homes, or how to enlarge body parts, or to buy drugs on line, even 
if  
Viagra is half price.  And, other than the four hour thing, 1/2 off does  
not paint a pretty picture. 
Who have these people been talking to?
