[Sca-cooks] halloo the list??

[Audrey Bergeron-Morin]

I still like list format better. Facebook is hard to follow, you can't
really know if you've read everything unless you scroll into infinity, and
it's a pain to post long blocks of text. But I understand why it's popular.
I just find myself using it less and less as time goes by. Actually, I now
use it almost only for events (not SCA, I mean, all kinds of events, shows,
gatherings, conferences, etc.).

I miss the old list.
