[AT] Remembering/now Facebook

[Stephen Offiler]

I'm in!  I think it's a fine idea to set up a Private Group on Facebook.
They are very manageable by the appointed administrator(s) and easy to keep
"clean" of the normal Facebook bullcrap.  I'm a routine Facebook user,
primarily to keep up with family living long distances away, plus my other
major hobbies (bicycling, motorcycling) are extremely active on Facebook -
you almost HAVE to be a Facebook user because everything you want to know
about is discussed on Facebook and nowhere else.  I've been on Facebook for
four or five years now, and I am VERY well aware of the gripes people have
about Facebook.  There is certainly some justification for the most of
those gripes but I guess I find the good outweighs the bad - signficantly,
as far as I am concerned.
