Actually, the sourdough and bread baking groups on FB are quite
interesting and heaven knows, much more active than this Usenet group.

As a full participant in each of these groups over quite a long time
- here, the Fresh Loaf and on the various bread groups in FB, there is
lots of info out there about many topics.

I did not weigh in on the OP's question, as I think the work-around
needed for a bread machine sourdough are not worth the effort.
