[ilds] OMG XVIII

I don't think the ILDS can ever regain its rich, often focussed exchanges
any more if it it uses Facebook or Twitter. I use both but don't regard
them as vehicles  for the kind of discursive discussions we had - but have
no longer had for a long time - on the ILDS Discussion Forum.
