Here’s a post from the Kumamoto-i mailing list about items for sale:
“I would like to sale off many stuffs like SD-Bed, Dining set, Dressing table, kitchenette and many more small useful items at cheapest rate possible. I can also guarantee they are all in perfect condition. Kindly check the website below to find more and please contact us through mail only so that we can reserve the stuffs for you until the sales date. http://dibyajivanarun4u.wix.com/mastmono "

This Facebook page grew out of the Kumamoto-i e-mail list. The e-mail list is not as active now as in the past but it has some advantages over this Facebook page. One advantage is that you don’t have any fancy algorithm deciding what you should or should not view; you see all posts in the order that they are made. Another related advantage is that all posts are treated equally. On this page, only the editors can post as “Kumamoto International” but on the Kumamoto-i e-mail group, posts from members are distributed in the same way that posts from moderators are. This makes the e-mail page group useful for people who have items they wish to buy or sell because one can address everyone in the group without getting the attention of a moderator.
Since becoming involved in Facebook I have found it difficult to integrate the two forums, though their purposes are essentially the same. Recently, however, I’ve developed a method of collating and sending summaries of posts made to this Facebook page to the Kumamoto-i list that I think I can sustain. Readers of the Facebook page may want to check out the summaries to make sure that Facebook hasn’t prevented you from seeing content that you are interested in.
