Well, having started to lower itself to the standards of everybody else, the RSGB is trying to look good on Facebook. I'm not sure it's succeeding, because it's latched onto its new photo library as an endless source of boring and pointless posts.

In other words, the RSGB has embraced modern communications to keep itself firmly entrenched in the past. Isn't that the image of amateur radio normal folk have been trying to rid themselves of for decades? I think it is. So, who better to ignore the calls for change and keep plugging images of stuffy, rich, white middle class men in front of coils and valves (ooh err, missus!) than your very own RSGB?
Anyhow, I was amused - and glad - to see a minor troll has set up shop (no, it isn't me under cover!), making comments to the effect of "spiffing stuff, old chum" to some of the RSGB posts. Apart from that, just about none of the supposed 20,000-odd members of the society have bothered engaging with it at all.
Well, I had a look, and that will do me for the year, I think. Maybe now the RSGB can move on to Twitter, where at least the pain will be limited to 140 characters - something like "Flash News! Old men on committee approve new committee structure. Committee Structure Committee asked to approve." (How many characters was that?)
