Frankly, I don't fully believe that. We have zero statistical evidence to prove that assumption or any other assumption. What I see on Facebook is quite simply (and again, based on assumption, not stats) is that this is yet another subset of users/supporters of openSUSE. We have people who follow on IRC, we have people who follow on mailing lists, we have people who follow on Forums, and we have people who follow on Facebook. Now, if we have different pockets of supporters out there, we cannot assume that those who are on Facebook follow mailing lists, can we? And from a marketing perspective, Facebook is a valuable tool to demonstrate that there is support for openSUSE. Cutting out those numbers through a process of passive weeding is not good for us.
