Agreed. One point no one has brought up yet is that some people (such as myself) are blocked from using Facebook or other social networking sites on their computer at work, but have access to email. It's very easy to follow caving-related discussions throughout the day using cavetex, but for Facebook, I'd either have to use my smartphone to log in, or check in at night, which is realistically not going to happen.
