[microsound] .microsound on Facebook

[Nathan Palinkas]

Although I'm fairly new to the mailing list, I still find it a relevant
form of communication. Although I don't talk too much, aside from maybe
posting a bit of my own music for critique, or for feedback on others, I
feel that the microsound mailing list serves as an interesting read.
However, I would not be averse to having a FB group as well. Still, I can't
help but think that this list was way more active and informative back in
its earlier years.
