It was not my intention for this to be a negative point, nor did I want 
to step on your toes. My apologies for make this look like a bad thing.

What concerns my conclusion, it's not from a single datapoint only. It's 
just a fact that Facebook does exist, and has become a major meeting 
point for many people all over the world. You may know of the "Learn 
Klingon" group. If there was no facebook, then those people would 
probably be in the mailing list, but they are not. Just like the 
"tlhingan-Hol-jatlhwI'pu'". There is also a KLI-page on Facebook; that's 
interesting to have and definitley a must be there, but that also makes 
move the information flow to that point, away from the list.

Note that it's not a negative thing! It's just that I noticed that 
anything that used to happen on the mailing list ONLY, long time ago, 
*may* also happen on Facebook nowadays.

Your message on facebook really was one single event, and I understand 
that you just posted it there because it was easy to do and you were 
proud to show it. ;-)

It just wouldn't have happened if there were no facebook, and there may 
be some non-facebookers on this list who may feel left alone. You know 
how excited the Klingonists are about getting news from Maltz!  :-D

So please - no offense! :-)
