Many people (including me) don't use social media platforms because of the privacy implications, trolls and general carp on them. Some of the stuff MrsLK reads out to me from her Farcebook account is laughable/cringeworthy.

This place is great with plenty of banter and a whole heap of community spirit and in the main relatively few arguments.
