Here's a website which has possibilities - family village

It's a good place to get information to do with disability and such, and I know there are a lot of us on the Mudcat who have reasons to be interested in that - but if I want to talk about things to do with that kind of thing, I'd probably sooner do it on the Mudcat, where there's what feels to me a much more user-friendly use of technology, even if superficially it looks less flashy. And also a stronger sense of community too, which is odd when you think about it.

In both cases there's a situation where there is a common concern that binds people even when they are in disagreement about other things, and you'd have thought that the common concern around disability would make for a stronger community than that around music, and in the 3D world it can be. But it doesn't seem to work that way on the net, at least in my experience.
