Andy - what I meant was the hypothetical that Nuno suggested would be terrible. *If* the Facebook button created a note in OSM, then OSM *would* be inundated with 1000s of notes re nonactionable Facebook complaints. The fact that there are several hundred already *without* a button on Facebook's website auto-creating notes every time someone made a report seems to support my theory.
