@Jimmy - I am right there with you. I've also been lucky to be part of excellent online discussion communities in the past, which led to friendships I still have today. Any FB group just pales in comparison, in terms of the ease of holding in-depth conversations with lots of people. A good forum or message board allows for just as good networking as FB. And I also feel that Facebook is an environment *and* a company I don't like and don't want to be more involved with. I definitely don't want to use the same Facebook account where my family and friend contacts are for business. So it's a little disapointing to me that so much FB activity goes on there. But it must be working for a lot of people, if those 10,000 actually use it regularly.
