I think it has been shown that the answer is a resounding 'no, there  
seems to be no major interest in some of the big-uns on the list  
participating in a Facebook group for SDL, so it is not, in anyway  
affiliated with the group'.  I could however be mistaken.

I, for one, have used Facebook since way back ( "way back" being  
extremely relative) before it was open to the public and thus an open  
forum for spam and vampire/werewolf/pirate/ninja/nascar/quiz  
programs.  I still use it as a way to keep general tabs on the events  
of those who know and to allow them to keep track of me and what I'm  
up to;  but I, too, wonder as to the practicality and/or purpose of  
having a Facebook group (in general, and also more specifically in  
reference to the SDL list), as I imagine all pertinent information can  
be not only accessed, but done so more efficiently, through this  
mailing list.

I am, of course, open to supported arguments to the contrary. ^_^
