[MRCA] Facebook; The Responses.

[Al Klase]

Hello Scott,

Thanks for bringing up this topic.  I do share W2HX's concern that we 
might miss the younger generations, but I remaine convinced that 
FaceBook is a complete *CLUSTER SCHTUP* designed for unsophisticated 
people of all ages.  I mean, if one doesn't know enough to do a web 
search, even a FaceBook search for "military radio collect", where we 
come up second to MRCG, there's no hope for you in a technological 
hobby.  When you add to that the concerns regarding spam, privacy, and 
the fact that, as a FaceBook subscriber, you are the product being 
hyped, it's my decision that we shouldn't go anywhere near this or any 
other "social media."
