I don't know that the membership wants a lot of personalized
functionalities. Personally (!) I hate all the buddy
facebookish stuff and would not want to take part in a
facebookish discussion group. I don't have a lot of time to
spend on the web, which doesn't particularly attract me,
generally speaking. The forum, as it stands, allows anyone
who has something to say to get on the soapbox and say it. It
is efficient.
Best,
