[Diy_efi] 'Logmaster?' & Facebook formatted as discussion site...

[Edwin leahy]

I remember someone sponsering a forum a few years ago. It didn't really catch on.
I think alot of it is that it is more easily archived via email. I am sure i'm not the only one that has many interesting topics saved,not to mention the website archives.
Facebook and myspace are too trendy and fly by night,everything needs to be moved for the next big thing.
I like the fact that I can leave for a couple years and come back to it in the same place when I need to.
