Daryl,

Everything on FB is vetted - even private posts. If they don't like something they delete
it. The treat every one on FB like a 5 year old kid - they have right-wing American
christian standards - every announcement would be vetted. I am firmly against any use of FB
or Twitter. Tyranny is not something that I support.

David
