While the forum is by no means faultless, it is head and shoulders above many, many similar sites in terms of know-how, literacy, diversity, tolerance and all the things that generally make it useful. I have a dream that one day it could somehow be expanded to include 'look-up' pages for some of those questions which come up time and again...the search function is useful but I often find myself struggling to find things with it. Of course how to agree the content of such pages would be another question altogether!
As for Facebook, I do use it, my main motivation being to keep in touch with acquaintances I have generally met during travels and so forth, people I might never have kept contact with otherwise. It is undoubtedly the devil's work, a bit vulnerable to hit and run 'contributions' from unhelpful and frivolous types, and an unashamed harvesting ground for your personal data. It has been handy in recent weeks for keeping up with people where I might not have found time for proper correspondence. Deffo a like - hate relationship!
