I started a facebook group for the San Antonio area you can search for it - San Antonio plumeria talk Thanks!

Great idea. Can't believe someone hasn't created this already.

Most people use blogs instead of Facebook to communicate information about adeniums, answer questions and so forth. Thailand and India growers tend to use Facebook as a selling tool (list the products/flower types, etc) more than we do in America. The problem with Facebook is its harder to control privacy so people who do not want to share most their Facebook stuff (family images, address, phones, etc) which shows on Facebook tend to shy away from joining a group where the members people have access. With blogs is is easier to control access to peoples personal info. www.adeniumrose.com

More than 20 years ago I was a regular participant in a music board on AOL that was very active and popular. One of the most active and popular of the boards was for an artist I had done some work for and knew personally, and let me tell you whatever has transpired here is nothing compared to what I experienced there. The artist herself frequented the board and it was nightmarish what eventually happened. Several of us had people impersonate us by subtle changes in email screen names (changing an L to an i or a 1 for an L etc). It was eye opening and an unsavory introduction to internet life. The artist is a songwriter, and one of the members tried to submit a manuscript to her at a function. She did not accept it and that was the beginning of the end. You have never seen such filth (yes, I am a Christian but I certainly am no prude and have been known to let loose with some salty words) and nastiness. Made up stories, fights-there were wars between members who had met in person and it all got absorbed on the board-I never believed adults would act like this. And it went all over the then very narrow web. I vowed to cherish the personal relationships in my life and to not get down or depressed by what I was reading on my computer screen. It took me a while to develop a thick skin towards it, but I had to in order to stay happy. After all, it is the lives we lead with our families and friends that are real and make for our happy places, not internet stuff.
