Interesting. I had surmised something of the sort but hadn't noticed
myself that it was so.  So far, I've managed to have a life without
visiting FB more than once.  (Fellow blacksmiths typically have non-FB
web pages but a recent newcomer to the craft -- 3 decades younger than
my cohort but no teeny-bopper herself -- presents her work on FB.)
