This has nothing to do with my personal preference.

Not as far as I am concerned.

Me too.

It seems we completely agree then.

Please note how I emphasized the word "primary" in my original email.

However, your initial statement contained the following:

Reading it again, it seems I might have understood it wrong (and
probably so did Christopher), so in the interest of avoiding any future
ambiguity, did you mean that:

1. when it comes to the Chinese community, this Facebook group will be
the main forum for communications, or

2. when it comes to the Chinese community, this Facebook group will be
the main forum for the communications happening on Facebook and only for
them, but this will not be the main forum in absolute (there is/will be
an accessible forum which is/will be the primary one)

I have to admit I understood the former. If this is indeed the intent, I
think we have a problem.

However, if I was wrong, and the intent is the latter, then I am happily
moving out of this thread. :)

Cheers,
