Perhaps Facebook has taken the place of the mailing lists? Forums and social networking sites have now largely replaced Usenet. "Beyond Blue" now has an online "Men in Sheds" at http://www.theshedonline.org.au/ with a page for genealogists. I signed up for it at the beginning, but haven't been back. Basically, the online Shed is for handymen, like a physical Shed, but the Internet allows a wider scope. Doug, a "Blue Voice": see http://www.beyondblue.org.au/ - unfortunately, there is no direct link. Look in the third column. At the top of that column, in the news scroller, Wiggle Anthony Field had depression badly. Carolyn Harris wrote: > People are now turning to Facebook Genealogy pages.

Thanks for that URL Doug, I will put it on Australian Genealogy. It seems like a great group and I think I will keep it bookmarked for future reference.
