Sherwin, you crack me up. Describing young folks interested in permaculture,
horticulture, botany, fruit exploration, food production, organics, climate
change, ecology, community building, plant breeding, networking as
Facebookers because they happen to be on a Facebook group is nothing short of
phobia.
Funny, I don't remember mentioning the age of these people. I think it afflicts people of all ages. Call it phobia, I say many
people are tied to their computers and cell phones like an umbilical cord. I am not anti-computer, but with some people,
this need for enormous communications is not normal. There is some interesting content on these facebook sites, but
it is sometimes disguised among a bunch of chit chat and I personally don't want to bother searching for it.
As for off topic and digressions, you apparently haven't been on this list
all that long because along with all the amazing discussions that have taken
place here, those are inevitable byproducts of any forum, chat, group,
bulletin board. People are people. Let a 1000 flowers bloom.

Maybe, with a few exceptions, most of the interesting people on the Nafex forum are basically gardeners first and
computer geeks last. They do not walk around their orchards with their cell phones glued to their heads. Their
postings are strictly about raising fruit and not about daily trivia found on facebook sites.

There is a price to pay to take in all these facebooker's. Some of them have
no knowledge of growing fruit and ask a
lot of stupid questions. I have always admired the level of expertise on
the Ibiblio Nafex forum and have tried to
emulate this high standard as administrator of the Midfex Ibiblio forum.
I have noticed that most chat sites like
facebook tend to downgrade the quality of discussion, with people going
off on tangents not even related to the
prime identity of the particular forum.
