Hey! No need to apologize! I have no animosity toward facebook (I'm on it several times a day). The email format works better for me, personally, but like I said, there's no reason people can't start discussions on the fb page. I'd certainly read it. I'm not one to respond much to this list, though. Lengthy discussion will probably occur more through email, given that the people who respond frequently seem to be less facebooky.
