I'm pleased for you but that's just YOUR experience. The group was made open (previous statements), membership has not been controlled and they are still promoting people to join which ultimately means identities could already be and continue to be revealed.
You are right that is my experience and it may vary from what others have claimed. However, I do not agree with JVs statement that the Group was made open. I only have to review my activity log and observe my FB account from another source to see that the Official AAWA Group was always Secret.
Also, AAWA's statement says membership is being controlled by internal protocols.
Perhaps it is just spin, bullsh*t, and boloney as well.
