Yes, the admins of the group said that and yet its the best resource right now for immediate answers. The admins hope that Facebook will give them the necessary tools to limit comments to admins only when a case is open and once closed allow all members to comment.

Some of the behind the scenes issues resemble PF mentor/advisor discussions but not as heated since we are a smaller group of folks and our voluntary workload is far less except for @berkeman and his amazing report cleanup.
