Some time back I set up a Facebook Group as an easier venue for discussions but for some dumb reason never really advertised it! But recently it has gained a lot more members and there are some great discussions and support happening.
The address is https://www.facebook.com/groups/total.hip.news/
See you there!
PS. I have backlog of posts but have had family and health issues to cope with.
