RodneyVikens Not as much as it has been, facebook is 'easier' - but @NorioDS is slowly n surely getting us there. If you'd like a bit more real-time banter, poke Norio to add you to the whatsapp group - plenty of off-forum musical banter there.
What I do like RE:forum vs FB vs whatsapp is that conversations/posts don't get as lost in the clutter - forgotten - occasionally, but I can generally find what I'm looking for in the archives.
