SignWriting Facebook Page already exists ;-)

SignWriting List
May 4th, 2010

Many thanks, Maria, for this suggestion. There is already a SignWriting Facebook page that was not started by me...I did not post it, nor did anyone inform me about posting it (that I remember - ha!)...I actually do not know who started it...smile...but of course I am grateful to all those who did, and to all those who have written so much about SignWriting on that Facebook page - quite amazing!

I am not sure whether I should join or not (smile)...what is the protocol for such a thing? smile....maybe they will welcome me, I don't know...smile...

I do not want to start another SignWriting Facebook page, because that could be confusing to the public...so I will write to some of the people involved to find out how they feel about this...

Meanwhile they took an article from Wikipedia about SignWriting, and there are some inaccuracies in that article, but I do not know who to talk to about it...

So just go to Facebook and search for SignWriting and start joining and posting ...that might help a lot...

Meanwhile...

I already have a Facebook page for Valerie Sutton... for at least a year if not longer...but guess what? There are over 99 Valerie Suttons on Facebook!...I never realized how many people are named Valerie Sutton, but there are a lot of them...So if you try to find me it might be hard...grin...

So Maria - do you have a Facebook page? I will look now....smile...

Val ;-)
