This list has been altruistically provided and maintained, (truly) 
without charge, to its users for about a quarter of a century and, as 
Bill has rightly many times pointed out, has a fully searchable and 
valuable archive. In recent weeks, it has been made clear beyond a 
peradventure, that Facebook, on the other hand, is primarily a get 
rich fast and stay rich scheme -- a platform for collecting and 
analysing its members' personal data and serving them paid advertisements.

I cannot conceive of a more disparate pair of examples.

David Kelzenberg deserves a round of applause and more from all of us 
here -- THANK YOU, David!

Mr Zuckerberg already claimed his reward, by having gouged billions 
from his trusting data providers.

Kelzen beats Zucker any day in MY book!

I agree that Facebook has an ability to display photos, which 
HPSCHD-L does not, but; as others have said, the ability to search 
postings from even 10 years back is vestigial. We should seek to 
establish a site where we can put photos in order to enhance the 
scope of this list; but any suggestions that Facebook is easier to 
use and benign, or of abandoning HPSCHD-L and its vast archival 
treasure chest do not make any sense to me!
