I'll probably be more than unpopular
For expressing this. But if previous members only announce the death of
their cat that we previously knew and loved for ages on rpca only on Facebook, then I am afraid the candle I lit for Pearl today will be the last that is not reported by the owner in rpca. Facebook will be the death of this group. And I will not be on it, ever. Tweed |

Tweed I think that's cutting off your nose to spite your face, there are over 100 people on Facebook that used to post here but don't any more. -- Adrian |

Everything posted on Usenet can be searched forever. -- Adrian |

If previous rpca members want candles or purrs, they they should post here. The group will die if they don't. there are over 100 people on Facebook that used to post here but don't any more. Exactly. And it's enabled by people that post to here from Facebook to get candles and wishes. Let them come back here if they want them, is what I say. Tweed |

Adrian, you never posted here about Shadow's illness and I had no clue about it.,I guess you did it all on Facebook and that is not fair. I loved that boy, he was like Boyfie, gettting a good home after being feral, and then you throw his death into rspca. I cannot tell you how much I was shocked. I wept. Tweed |

Tweed Usenet is already dying, many people don't even have access these days and many prefer Facebook anyway. I don't know how you can criticise something you've never tried. -- Adrian |

It's not Facebook that's destroying the group, a lot of the blame rests with ISPs who are dropping Usenet from their service and not everyone knows how use an alternative. -- Adrian |

If it were not for Facebook, I would not be aware of half of what my own family is doing. Does this group exist on Facebook? Can one "friend" it ? Jay |

That's the beauty of the Germans ;-) |
