I hate to sound naggish and I do applaud you efforts with the good of the group in mind, but I've had a raft of bad experiences with "Join Facebooke," "Invite a friend," and other Facebook social amenities and invitations clogging my inbox and interweaving itself among other "groups." Classmates.com was all I ever needed and now everybody's jumping in the mix and my address has become shared allover with people I've never heard of or want to know! Could we not do this please?
