It's corporate speak. It's been irritating me for 10 years or more

That many? Probably not; that many PLUS their contacts. Not a cst in hell’s chance

That’s what I said in 2019!

Well, that’s what I said when they MADE me install it (in 2019)

I now find it invaluable.

I post a bit on open FB, but, again, the issue is the number of groups that organise through it.

I know that's true, but I have dozens, if not hundreds, of groups, and multiples thereof of contacts; plus 5 broadcast channels, and I would never get them all to move. So lost cause

Not happening. Too many people; too many groups

No. The issue is not stumbling into AI inadvertantly.

I’ve already come off everything I can. I’m stuck with FB and WA

Not for me, thanks.

I’ve just finished a mushroom omelette, leeks and sautΓ© potatoes. All, except the eggs from my egg box.
