The fact that all of those people are already in the community on Facebook?


So what FB is really providing is inertia.

You hear similar sentiments by people that they stay on FB because "I don't have any of these peoples email addresses."

I think this is the real danger, that FB replaces all these other channels and mediums.

Have you suggested to the group the possibility of moving off of FB? I mean it sounds like they are tech people if they are part of a computer group.
