Hi all, I dislike fb very much.... I've tried it twice and both times it took less than a couple weeks to leave. I'm honestly considering what hate more - quitting meteorites or joining fb. Having said that I'm not a fan of the IMCA either - although I do like most of the IMCA members - maybe I'm just more of a lone wolf than I had previously thought. Anyway, I guess it's time to go back into my den and ponder these things.
