Useful Resource for Poison Mushroom Identification

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the challenges and benefits of using Facebook as a platform for pet owners seeking immediate assistance with issues like mushroom poisoning in dogs. While some participants express concerns about Facebook's suitability as a resource, it remains the most effective option for quick answers. Group admins are advocating for features that would enhance moderation, such as limiting comments to admins during active cases and opening discussions to all members once resolved. The conversation also touches on the dynamics of group management, noting that the workload is manageable compared to larger forums, with specific acknowledgment of a member's contributions to maintaining order and clarity in discussions.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay.

Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
