Short Cuts to Some of the “Best” Group Posts

A definite negative about the FB group is that it doesn’t support organizing content.  Thus, if you’re new to the group, you’d have to scroll down down down down to find some of the explosive posts (Danny Kadar’s posting the raw mix of Din) or some of the posts that elicited a lot of discussion (e.g., DK Din, Chris’s gear, etc.).  To help newbies find these posts way downstream, I’ve provided links below.
