   Well said, except "When facebook took off, and we realized we could do the   
   same thing there we   
   were doing here". The pictures, gewgaws, and countless FB "friends" have   
   diminished AMR considerably over there. Plus I feel disrespectful typing   
   "fuck" in response to one of your FB posts knowing full well your fucking   
   mom and fucking grandma are likely fucking reading it. ;)   
      
   The FB AMR is nowhere *near* the usenet version, Max. You know that.   
      
   I have 29 FB friends, and 27 are AMR-ers. Keeping in touch with you   
   dickheads in the waning usenet AMR era is pretty much the only reason I'm on   
   FB.
