See, that's what I've been missing - I'm on it, I occasionally post to it, but I always feel either out of place or sarcastic when doing so (e.g. "I'm going to the bathroom now")*. I don't tend to worry over empirical logic, I just felt left behind with this new technology all the kids use. So maybe looking at it that way will work for me, and for the shrinking faction of friends who don't understand and/or hate it.
