¿ªÔÆÌåÓýErik, First, I have learned everything I know about Felder machines here and have no plan to leave this group neither do I plan to stop sharing. All social media have their baggage and I appreciate your concerns. I am sure I am helping Facebook by being on it and as a result they get to advertise to me. There is however no advertisement on this group. I use whattsapp (now owned by facebook) to communicate to my extended family in Asia, Europe & Australia, so while I have concerns similar to yours, I succumb to its usefulness. As I mentioned earlier, I would still like to have a way to organize a local/regional group. If you have any suggestions for this, please contact me offline. Hope this helps.

?Hi Imran, I am very new here and find this group a super resource, including your own contributions. I get your objective but just want to say that I will never participate in any FB, Twitter, IG, or other similarly organized group.? I do not expect you to change your plans.? I only wish to point out that others may also have this position, which may limit your audience. These platforms can be very useful, however I choose not to contribute to their financial success at my own expense, so will never participate in any of their offerings.? Hopefully there will be a platform that is more broadly appealing for your initiative. If not, I hope to learn more from you here and look forward to contributing meaningfully to this group.? However you decide to go I wish you success and I would gladly participate in another type of forum with you. Erik |
