Actually, most of mine DON\'T. Well, they sure do know I\'m a geek, but not about my little painted guys. Only a few who\'ve visited or house-sat for me have seen them.
I\'m not really sure what the point of a CMON Facebook group would be (what is the \"point\" of most of this stuff?
), I just thought I\'d float the balloon and see who shot at it. If I get a few more takers it might just be worth the bother emopainterguy

Oh, don\'t get me wrong, I\'d probably join it. I think perhaps it would be better suited as a Miniature Painters Group, or something of the like, not specifically a Cool Mini Or Not Group.

Okay, so I joined this \"facebook\" thing.
I find it a bit harder to use to locate old friends than MySpace.
Also, to join a school network you need a school email.
What if your school didn\'t give you email?
I don\'t think my gradschool did, and if it did, I have no idea what it was.
To be fair though, I did see a former roommate of mine whom I haven\'t seen for, oh, 11 years or so.
Off to join Friendster....

Wow -- I didn\'t think I\'d ever find myself defending MySpace over anything... I can\'t stand the site, personally, and only the sheer number of my friends and acquaintances using the site for event invitations forces me to be on it. That being said, though...
I can count at least a dozen of my friends and/or good acquaintances who work at MySpace here in the L.A. area. Some are programmers, some are customer service drones, but several work in security specifically. One spends nearly half of her days in any given month traveling across the entire country, speaking at law enforcement conferences and workshopping face to face with the FBI, local police departments, and every level in between. Another guy is MySpace\'s contact point for law enforcement agents who are looking for access to specific information that\'s involved in criminal investigations. And one other girl -- I feel for the poor young thing -- she\'s one of the ones that gets to go through everything that comes up content-wise that involves child pornography. Talk about a job that wears her down -- but she chooses to do it because it\'s important work, and she\'d rather it be done by her than by some of her co-workers who are parents themselves and have an even more difficult time with some of the things she sees.
*shudder*
Yeah, there are still a ton of problems at MySpace, including security issues regardless of the best efforts of these people I know. But I also know just how damned hard they work in that department there, and it\'s not an easy job at a site that\'s passed Google as the #1 most often-hit site on the entire Web (I don\'t have actual numbers, that\'s according to several of my employee-friends).
