Oh my GAWD, so many idiots in the Facebook groups of the "so you grew up in" variety are AS DUMB AS ROCKS.
I now think this type of Facebook group, in particular, attracts so many (okay, this is going to sound a little mean) people of a certain age, and they're excited about having a place to reminisce about the Good Old Days, which hey, so I am in certain respects ..... BUT these are NOT computer savvy, internet savvy, social media or especially FORUM or GROUP savvy people ... and it's maddening trying get a response to something that makes any sense or that logically follows the thing it follows.
This post in itself is probably incomprehensible. Apologies. I think on this point BK is going to know pretty much what I mean. It's such a damn shame. These groups, at their best, are invaluable sources of information. And I daresay (oh yes, I dare, just try me) that 98% of the people in them have zero interest in any kind of actual information. They just type Pavlovian responses, which is probably the same way they are in regular conversation. (I told you this would be a little mean. Maybe it's a lot mean.)
Sorry, just a li'l rant based on a conversation in the Fort Lauderdale group today.
