sigh. I am one of those people who refuses to use Facebook. I read the 'terms and conditions' of that dubiously intentioned place and cannot understand why people would want their organization's core discourse to get sucked into that for-profit black hole. The central idea is to have people create content at no cost to Facebook. Content to promote profit making. Drifting to the lowest common denominator - fast-food 'McDonald's' discourse.
A better alternative for irisarians to have some other logical non-commercial option. Like maybe the AIS to create a forum? I have no earthly idea why there isn't one there. It makes no sense at all that the flagship irisarian organization cannot get it up to have one. It could give the larger irisarian community a central place to meet and better hope for a central narrative beyond fast-food. 

:) Of course I don't have a strong opinion about this.

Yep, we're still here. Not sure I'd exactly call us "active" any more. Most folks who used to talk on hort.net have moved to Facebook.
But the archived discussions still were getting a lot of traffic, last time I checked with our 'landlord', Chris.
Colleen, is that Colleen Modra? What in the world are you doing here in the winter? Wrong time of year to be hybridizing.
