I guess it's because I'm old school, I personally don't see what the rage is all about with FB. My best guess is it's so generalized that everyone can be attracted and feel like they belong while also catering to specific interests with dedicated pages and offering a way to increase ones network. Makes it good as an all in one-stop, decent for conversing but as you said really poor at being any real source of information. IMHO unfortunately that's it's biggest downfall. The site lacks any real substance. Though I will admit it has served me well by helping me connect with some real knowledgeable people such as Wayne Leibel nd Vin Kutty to name a few.
Eh-Hem....not just a Mod but a Global Mod. lol Seriously though thanks, it's much appreciated. As for the kind words, it's my pleasure; your set up really is killer. I keep wondering if I could try such set up. It definitely has it's benefits over standard dimensions.
